Aren't you leasing? You really "should" follow the recommended maintenance schedule... at least get your oil changed. Or don't complain when something goes wrong and you want warranty work done.

Check your manual, it should be in there somewhere. I think it is an oil change, change oil filter and check other things. I just got the B at 40,000 miles or so.

do the new civics have timing belts that need to be changed at approximately 100,000 kms?

I had heard this before, does anyone know the scheduled replacement interval? I think my manual references a timing belt!

As mentioned, we don't have a timing belt on our cars. We have a timing chain. The timing chain shouldn't fail in the lifetime of the car.

Hello,

Today the car reached 15% oil and the B indicator lit.

I will go for the A1 (oil change) and do the rest myself.

no matter when you do the oil change, the gauge will be reset to oil 100%.
