Valve clearences are a service item every 2nd service so yes they are a 6 year item.

BUT remember to check and set these accurately we would need the car left with us the night before as the engine has to be stone cold to do it properly.

Why the change of oil used for servicing from Motul to Shell?

When my EP3 needs it's 12th service(150,000), do I assume it to be the same as the 4th service(50,000)?

Mark
Hi Mark

Yes you are right and its another 50,000 mile or 4th service you will need at 12 years.

We switched from Motul to Shell due to various supply issues and the Motul importers switching which left us with no stock availability. All sorted now but we've stuck with the Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 for the Civics.

Cheers, Chris
#3502209
Oh right. I wondered if you'd stopped using it altogether. I recently purchased 10LTRS of 8100 X-CESS from OpieOils intending to do an oil change at 10,000 interval, but have decided to wait for another 2,500miles until service time is due. Is it alright if I bring a can of the Motul with me when I bring car in for servicing?

How much extra does this cost to check and set please?

Its £55 inc vat to set the valve clearances.

We do need the car from stone cold to set these so its best to drop the car off the night before. (If you drop off before 6pm then the car will be locked up inside our workshop)

Hope this helps?

Regards,

Dave.

Hi Dave i may need to come down to your premises to have my new clutch and Lsd installed.

The cars currently on 152 thousand miles and running as sweet as when i bought it 8 years ago.

Could you give me a rough price for installing the above items.

Kind regards , Paul.

Hi guys, 
Just acquired a type r ep3 its an 06 model and is currently on 63,000 miles. Have been looking at the service book and it has 6 stamps currently the last one was done the end of may 13 by yourselves. From the service book it was stamped the 54000-75000/72months service so the 6th one in the book.
Just wondering which service (relating to your schedule on the forum) you would recommend me to have now?. Last service oil, oil filter, gearbox oil, brake fluid, air + fuel filter aswell as the plugs were all changed by yourselves. Would you reccomend valve adjustmemt to be done or should all be ok at this mileage?
Many thanks, Dan
