What is the maintenance interval for the 10th-generation Civic?
2 Answers
The 10th-generation Civic requires maintenance every 5,000 km/6 months. Here are some details about its maintenance: 1. For each routine maintenance, the oil filter must be replaced. If the car is driven in areas with low dust levels, the air filter can generally last for 20,000 km, and only needs cleaning at 7,500 km. 2. The lifespan of the fuel filter depends on the quality of the fuel used. If you consistently refuel at reputable gas stations and experience no fuel supply issues, the filter can be replaced after 20,000 km. 3. Under normal usage conditions, brake pads can last 30,000-40,000 km, and the original battery can last 3-4 years.
When I drove the 10th-gen Civic before, the manual clearly stated that the maintenance interval was every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. I always strictly followed this rule because regular maintenance keeps the engine healthy. The main tasks are changing the engine oil and filter, and checking brake pads and tire wear. If you're a city commuter, doing it every six months is sufficient; if you frequently drive on highways, pay attention to timely inspections of the suspension and cooling system. Delaying maintenance may lead to increased fuel consumption or minor malfunctions, costing more in the long run. Simply put, set a phone reminder or use an app to track mileage—it's an easy way to ensure your car runs smoothly for years to come.
