Why does the Honda Civic quickly display the need for engine oil replacement?
1 Answers
Honda Civic indicators show that engine oil replacement is needed soon, prompting the owner to perform regular vehicle maintenance. Purpose of the warning symbol: When the vehicle leaves the factory, the manufacturer sets a fixed parameter. When the vehicle reaches a certain mileage, the dashboard will display the corresponding warning symbol to remind the owner to perform regular maintenance. Generally, the maintenance interval for vehicles is between 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. After the Civic prompts for engine oil replacement, it can continue to drive within 800 kilometers. In addition to the factory setting of an 800-kilometer advance warning for engine oil replacement, some vehicle systems are configured to allow a maximum of only 50 kilometers of driving after the oil replacement prompt appears. If the engine oil is not replaced in time and the vehicle continues to be driven far beyond the preset mileage, it can lead to engine wear and reduce its lifespan. Engine oil: Engine oil, also known as motor oil, is a lubricant used for the engine, crankcase, and various moving components.
