i don't think oil changes are scheduled maintenance type things, more like common sense maintenance. scheduled maintenance are like you 30k, 60k, "tune up" type bullshit, but they're all bull ---- anyways. the most complicated thing consists of tranny fluid change. i got my 00 si with 54k on it and took it by the dealer to see about a 60k mile maintenance (basically i just wanted to know what it consisted of so i could do it my self), he told me, oil/filter change, tranny fluid change, adjust valves, new spark plugs/wires, change cabin filter. all of this for the low price of 500 dollars, i did all of it my self for the low price of under 100 dollars, and it was only that much b/c i ordered my vc gasket from honda, and i used honda mtf (kinda pricey).

haha, that's kinda funny. Did you seriously for one minute think that a car would make it to 110,000 miles without an oil change?!!

Man, that poor civic. :'( If he thinks he doesn't have to change the oil, maybe he shouldn't even drive a car. :P

My mom was telling that back in the late 80's she had an rx7. She said that in the 10 years she owned it she never once changed her oil! :o

Im thinking it had to have been changed a couple times when brought to a repair shop for other things or something.
