I have a 02 Acura RSX and wondering if I can skip the 90k maintenance and wait for 120k?
Kind of tight on budget right now. I just recently changed the transmission oil and also the 5k regular oil change. I was wondering if I have to do the 90k maintenance or can I wait for the 120k maintenance? What exactly do they usually do for the 90k maintenance? Thanks
I'm not sure what it includes because the shop only mentioned that at 90k there is a maintenance, I don't know much about what is usually done at those points, but I know my car doesn't have a timing belt, but a timing chain so that doesn't need to be changed until possibly after 200k.
Or if ever need to change the timing chain since it says it's good for the lifetime of the car. Not sure o__O

According to one site:
90,000 mile service
Oil and filter change
Air filter is replaced
Inspect front and rear brakes, clean, lube and adjust
Cap and rotor are replaced ( on most car’s )
Tires are rotated
Valve adjustment as needed
Coolant is changed
Transmission fluid changed
Brake fluid changed
Spark plugs changed
Visually safety check
Most of the stuff isn't that important, but the valve adjustment is. You do NOT want to skip that.

That depends on what the 90k maintenance covers. As a car gets older with more mileage it becomes even more important to do the maintenance as required. Skipping an oil change or tire rotation is no big deal but if you neglect a timing belt change or similar it could destroy the engine, which is not a cheap fix.
