#304 of 345 Re: Oil Life on a 2008 Civic Lx [xxy] by jet10000 Aug 22, 2008 (3:13 pm)
Replying to: xxy (Aug 21, 2008 4:43 pm) Just wondering my Civic has reached 5500 miles and the oil life indicates it is at 40% of it's life. I thought I was suppose to get an oil change at 5000 miles. Should I not be concerned and let the oil change indicator to come on and then take it in for service.   That's right, just follow the maintenance minder and it will keep you on schedule. I've been averaging about 7,500 miles before I hit 15% (the recommended percentage to get service.)

I got a new Honda Civic 08 EX coupe and the low tire pressure light came on. I looked at the tired and tested it and everything was normal.   Anyone have a similar problem with the indicator? Replies to this message: jet10000 (Sep 22, 2008 12:25 pm)

Replying to: robx615 (Sep 20, 2008 10:40 pm) What pressure did you measure the tire at? Look at the door to see the proper pressure that your car needs to be inflated to. It may be higher than you think.
#307 of 345 another recall on the 07's..... by nsteevo Sep 23, 2008 (9:07 am)
"Product Update: Water Pump Pulley Bolts May Lose Tension" 06 and 07, if you haven't gotten one of these in the mail you'd better call the dealer. It seems the water pump pulley bolts can come loose and cause the drive belt to break. I am really glad that Honda is taking care of this for me. However, this is the third or fourth item that has been recalled since my purchase of my Civic a year ago. It is a sad thing in this day and age (technologies, education of designers and manufacturers, computers etc.) to have brand new cars having problems like this. This is the oposite of the long enjoyed reputation of Japanese automobiles of years gone by not having repairs to speak of for many years of ownership......even when the vehicle was abused and not maintained. Japanese quality WAS Japanese manufactured and assembled.....100%. Honda and Toyota have sadly watered down their product quality by getting American ANYTHING involved in the production and/or design of their vehicles.

Had it done after receiving a recall notice in the mail. Also had the rear suspension problem taken care of at the same time. With the Lug bug issue and the brake seals issue already addressed, guess that should be it. Still love the car but don't want to see the dealer any time soon...lol!   The Sandman Replies to this message: thegraduate (Sep 23, 2008 3:12 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (Sep 23, 2008 2:03 pm) Not a sandman specific question here...   But,   My folks have a 2007 Civic EX Sedan, early build probably (Jan 2007 purchase). Would it possibly be included?

Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) I"m sorry to tell you but I have two friends who bought 08's. Their millage is just about what yours is. My 07 gets 41 hwy loaded with the air on. I asked the salesman why that is and he told me the gov't just changed how they rate the MPG's on new cars. That doesn't explain the actual numbers you and I are coming up with on the road.

Replying to: cuyseco (Nov 14, 2008 7:38 am) Considering the fact that you didn't give any details on your driving style, and where you drive, its really hard to say how good that is. Assuming a mix of city and highway, I'd say that sounds great (considering the car is rated for mid-20s in town and mid-30s highway), you're beating the estimates.
