honda Honda civic 2018 Transmission oil change

[civicnk]

Hi,

I use a Honda civic gen 10 2018 and today after running around 27500 kms the service due icon appeared. When checked in the maintenance it lists 3 things with service due in 28 days. Please check the attached screenshot and below details.

B: Chassis inspection

2. Dust and Pollen Filter

3. Transmission oil

 

As i ve heard transmission oil should be changed in 40000kms. Can someone please advice if i need to change Transmission oil as well.

Hi and welcome to AL,.. 

So,  you're looking for a reason to not-service your car,..?

Q?, what is the current mileage of the car now?

The maintainance minder is these cars are pretty advanced and adapt according to our driving and traffic conditions. If it says to change it then do so. 40000 kms must be the specified intervals for UK.

My Maintenance minder says to change the transmission oil as well and im still on 12000KMs & almost 2 years after manufacturer date.

So i guess there must be a sophisticates mechanism to calculate the intervals.

It is calculated on a complex algorithm (formula) based on mileage, temperatures, average speed, number of cold starts etc..

System may not be suitable for SL conditions this is why it is not offered in SL for most vehicles (agent imports)

You can disable the system and go by the agent/ manufacturer recommendation for the particular vehicle based on mileage and time. Eg: 40,000 km/ 4 years, 60,000 km / 5 years
