Order of maintenance minder schedule

ilikemycivic · 05-12-2008, 04:02 PM

Hello everyone,

Now I know to follow MM as per Honda and 90+% of you do but can anyone tell me the order of these A/B 1/2/3/4/5?

Like is it A1, B1, A2, B1, A3??

No idea, just curious... Thanks in advance all.

It's pretty much random and is based on your driving habits.

If you look in your manual it will give you a break down of whats required depending on what comes up.

edit: or just look at the link you posted.

Well I'm not sure how it can be "pretty much random" and "is based on your driving habits", both of those statements in the same sentence seem to contradict each other.

I know what is required as per the link I have posted, I just want to know the order in which they will happen.

Sorry if I wasn't clear the first time, thanks.

Generally it alternates between A and B each time. I change my oil every 5,000 km regardless of whatever the dealer or anyone on here says. An other way of checking is turning the ignition key on and holding the select/reset button for more than 10 seconds until it flashes. Then it will tell you the number and sub item. But make sure you wait until the display starts flashing otherwise you'll reset your minder, not that it matters if you change your oil every 5,000 Km.

also, the computer bases the calculation on driving conditions (weather, driving habits, etc) and then synchronizes it with one of the numbers to make it easier for the customer not to have to come back twice.
