Replying to: jstewar9 (Jan 23, 2008 12:44 pm) I think the best rule of thumb is to consider whether the combined cost of repairs actually pushes your 95 Civic from very good condition into the excellent condition category, allowing you to recover and even profit from the cost of repairs. You should probably avoid spending more and only recovering a portion of what it cost to to repair the vehicle. For instance, if you spend $500 in repairs but that only bumps up the value of your Civic another $200, then the repairs are not nearly worth the effort or expense. Ask an educated, impartial source to valuate your car before and after repairs (poll 2 or 3 other mechanics) or use online Blue Book sources at kbb.org.
#6 of 7 What kind coolant to use for my Honda Civic by ckn000 Dec 30, 2008 (3:53 pm)
I just received a 1995 Honda Civic SI Couple and the car needs coolant. What kind of coolant should be used? The standard green? The orange? The 50 / 50 diluted? or the Honda coolant? I don't have owner's manual and would appreciate input. Replies to this message: mark19 (Jan 01, 2009 5:34 am)

Replying to: ckn000 (Dec 30, 2008 3:53 pm) first i'd check for any leaks, anywhere. Then once you have determined that, I would ONLY use the Honda coolant. It's a special formulation, there will be people that tell you aftermarket is just as good, but I haven't seen that. Use the honda coolant. It's premixed and all you do is pour it into the coolant system   And at this age, I would recommend draining out the coolant, replacing the coolant hoses and clamps and then refilling it with new coolant. Another thing to check is when the last time the timing belt was replaced. They also replace the water pump when they do that. If the belt snaps, bye bye engine. It's not fun! Try this.. you'd have to repair the entire engine, not good! So definitely find that out!   Hope that helps.
