Sylvia and i started gathering all my pans and tools at 4pm (outside mind you, since the #civicofdoom is dead in the garage still). by 4:45 we were picking up all the stuff and putting the car back on the ground.
oil, radiator, brake flush, clutch flush, trans fluid, all filters... refilled and burped.
I did the same with mine. Took me a little longer because I wanted to really flush the coolant out since mine's closer to 100k. Ran the heat and drove it around with just water for a bit and then had to let everything cool. Still only took like 2 hours but I did skip the brakes for now. Just going to drain and fill the auto tranny every oil change (10k) since it's just too easy not to. The dealer does a 3x drain/fill service every 30k or so but quite a few people seem to just do the 10k interval. Been really impressed with what this thing fits. I've already decided to let someone else do the spark plugs when it's time.
