Hello HT,
I recently purchased a 1999 Civic SI. I've been lurking around various Honda forums and so far I've found that I'm on honda-tech the most, so I decided to make an account. I'm glad to be here and thank you for having me.

Introductions aside, I've got a question about fluid capacities for my new car. I've done google searches as well as searched the forums but can't seem to find a good source of information on this. The reason I'm asking is because I'm going to be doing a complete drain and fill of all fluids, along with plugs, wires, cap/rotor, oil/fuel filter, etc. I basically just want the peace of mind that all the fluids and maintenance related items are fresh and new. If someone could point me to a page that has all the fluid capacities it would be much appreciated. Sorry for the long winded post and thanks again.

p.s. I'm not certain if this post is in the correct area but I couldn't seem to find a spot for maintenance related info.

you only need to be worried about oil and trans fluid capacity

and with brake fluid, power steering, you only need to bleed and fill to the max line

Is it stock engine? (i.e. not swapped)

RJC

Stock engine, stock trans, and stock radiator. I understand that it would be more simple to simply bleed and fill the others, but for peace of mind I'm going to be doing all of them.

You forgot antifreeze/coolant drain.

Thanks to RonJ@HT and NOFX for the great info. NOFX pointed me to that PDF as well in a PM. That service manual rocks. I wasn't able to find clutch fluid and brake fluid capacities, however power steering is 0.9 quarts disassembled and the reservoir is 0.42 quarts. I'll just pick up a few bottles of DOT 3 for clutch and brake bleeds. Thanks again guys!

Remember what I told you. We're not supposed to link to the service manual PDFs on here. *facepalm* I only did it to help you and to convince you to lay $30 down for one at the dealership.

It's way easier to use the paper version in the garage than the PDF imo. I don't bother with the PDFs since I got the paper versions for my cars (plus the electrical information isn't in the PDF ones).

Engine oil is usually about 4 litres!
