Only 6 years, ouch! If I don't hit 120,000 miles by 2011, (belt was
replaced in 2005), I will probably make that more like 7 or 8 years.

No ABS on this car, I found that out a while back during an emergency
stop. I just received the car, but have been driving it on and off for
about 4 years.

I am good about replacing the brake fluid every 2 to 3 years. I work on
a decent number of vehicles and it amazes me how many cars are out there
with brake fluid that is over 10 years old.

There is a thick folder of regular interval service records for this
car, and it is nice to see completely clear brake fluid in the
reservoir, unlike the very black brake fluid that I drained out of a
1996 Maxima a few weeks ago.

Is this 1995 Honda 4 cylinder engine an interference or non-interference
design?

Thanks!
