Do you plan to DIY the maintenance?

Yes, mostly because I don’t have a reliable place for repairs where I live

We use POR15 to stop surface rust -- google it to learn how it works, etc

To add to what CRV touring said:

Replace timing belt and water pump when needed. Buy a good kit. Research on the forum.

Adjust the valve lash periodically. Easy to do. Search forum.

I don’t see why you’d have rust under the dash. Usual place is rear quarter panels and rocker panels.

change cabin air filter. Actually I’m going to go do that now lol.

use genuine Honda fluids for rear differential, transmission. Use Honda compatible blue coolant.

rear brakes have drums so the pads last practically forever.

grease the front brake calliper slide pins occasionally.

Consider picking up a spare distributor at a junk yard to have on hand.
