How Often Should a Honda Civic Be Serviced?
2 Answers
The first maintenance for the Civic is at 3,000 kilometers or 3 months, with subsequent service intervals every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months. Relevant information about car maintenance is as follows: Contents of minor maintenance: Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine maintenance tasks performed at intervals specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance, mainly including oil and oil filter replacement. Interval for minor maintenance: The interval for minor maintenance depends on the effective duration or mileage of the oil and oil filter used. The validity periods vary among different brands and grades of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Please follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
I just bought a Civic, and the 4S store specifically told me that the first maintenance must be done within three months or 5,000 kilometers, and then it can be done every six months or 5,000 kilometers. I remember last time I delayed it for eight months before going, and the engine oil had turned black. The mechanic said this could damage the engine. I mainly use it for commuting, so I usually follow the mileage for maintenance. If I drive more in the city, I’ll go a bit earlier. During maintenance, it’s best to keep an eye on things. Besides changing the oil and oil filter, the brake pads and tire wear should also be checked. After all, proper maintenance ensures the car lasts longer and saves on major repair costs.
