Monthly Maintenance
Performing periodic inspections and light maintenance on your Honda Civic is a worthwhile habit to develop. It helps you to stay on top of the components of your vehicle that get the most use, so you know whether you’ll need to schedule any kind of service.
Honda recommends monthly inspections of the following:
- Tire pressure
- Tire tread
- Exterior lights
In addition to these monthly inspections, Honda recommends that you check the condition of your wiper blades every six months.
7,500 Miles: Tires & Engine Oil
At each service interval, the technicians that service your Honda Civic should check the engine oil and filter, as well as rotate your tires in accordance with the owner’s manual directions.
In modern Civic models, you’ll always get a dashboard notification when your oil or tire pressure is low. However, under normal driving conditions, it’s beneficial to try and get your oil changed every 7,500 miles.
15,000-Mile Maintenance
At 15,000 miles or the 1-year marker, you should always schedule service for your Honda Civic. This service appointment should include an oil change and tire rotation, as well as:
- Brake inspection
- Brake fluid replacement
- Air filter replacement
In addition, your service technicians will perform visual inspections on the suspension, exhaust, and cooling systems in your Civic, and adjust the parking brake if necessary.
30,000-Mile Maintenance
Your next service appointment to keep in mind should come at the 30,000-mile mark, or at two years, whichever comes first.
During this appointment, your Honda Civic should receive the same inspections as the previous service, as well as a drive belt adjustment, replacement of the air cleaner element, and a spark plug check (they’ll be replaced if necessary).
60,000-Mile Maintenance
The average driver will hit 60,000 miles around the 4-year mark of ownership. At this time, it’s important to have the transmission fluid in your Civic replaced. The technician will top off any other fluid levels that appear low.
Honda Maintenance Minder
Thanks to the useful technology implemented in the Honda Maintenance Minder, modern Honda Civic models can keep you updated on what kind of service is needed while you drive. Beyond alerting you when the oil levels are low, the Honda Maintenance Minder displays different codes that signify different areas of needed maintenance.
Understanding what these different codes mean is crucial for all drivers. Here’s what you should expect when you see a Honda Maintenance Minder code on your dash:
Main Codes
A— Oil change
B— Oil change, brake, and fluid inspection
Subcodes
1 – Tire rotation
2 – Air filter replacement, drive belt inspection
