When Should I Service My Honda?
Every Honda car, truck, minivan, and SUV has their own maintenence schedule listed in the owner's manual, with every 7,500 miles being the common milestone. Additionally, Honda vehicles are equipped with the Honda Maintenence Minder System, which notifies you through the dashboard about the critical components in real-time when your vehicle needs maintenance.
The Maintenance Minder system tracks various metrics like engine operating conditions, driving habits, and time elapsed since the last service. It then displays a series of maintenance codes and subcodes on your dashboard to let you know what specific service is required. Below are some examples of the codes the Honda Maintenance Minder system could display in your vehicle to notify you that it's time for maintenance. To learn more about the Honda Maintenance Minder system, visit our Honda Maintenance Minder system overview page.
| Main Code | Meaning |
| A | Replace engine oil. |
| B | Oil change and a comprehensive check-up. |

If you've lost track of when you last serviced your vehicle, we suggest scheduling a service appointment right away. There's no harm in servicing your vehicle early or more frequently, but putting off service could lead to unnecessary damage and costly repairs. When you service your vehicle at our Service Center, we keep track of when you came in and what services were completed. Keeping track of your service history helps our technicians better understand your vehicles' health and allows us to send reminders to you if you are past due.
