#218 of 232 Re: oil change [wai] by jet10000 Jun 30, 2009 (12:38 pm)
Replying to: wai (Jun 30, 2009 11:21 am) If I use Mobile 1 fully synthetic motor oil, how many miles do I need to change the oil. mine is 70 % highway driving. Since I change my oil last time at 5,000 miles before ,the service minder for oil life is only 20 % left.   I use Mobile 1 as well. I do the changes per the service minder. Usually near 6,000 miles before it hits 15% and says to change. Replies to this message: wai (Jul 01, 2009 7:12 am) jet10000 (Jul 01, 2009 12:27 pm) wai (Jul 02, 2009 9:38 am)

Replying to: jet10000 (Jun 30, 2009 12:38 pm) Thanks. Is the manual stated 10,000 miles oil change interval? If the minder reach 0%, will the warning light come on? Replies to this message: jet10000 (Jul 01, 2009 12:27 pm) wai (Jul 02, 2009 9:38 am)

Replying to: wai (Jul 01, 2009 7:12 am) When the new body style Civic came out, there were no more stated intervals in the manual. You will see a wrench starting at 15% and the percent remaining will be displayed on the odometer screen as well as the codes for the recommended maintenance at that time.

Replying to: jet10000 (Jul 01, 2009 12:27 pm) I think I will not use fully synthetic oil if change interval is only 5 - 6 k. I probably will go in for oil change at 10 % level.   Thanks.
#222 of 232 Civic door gasket by disgruntled9 Jul 10, 2009 (8:43 am)
I own a 2008 Civic w/10k miles the gasket frayed and the dealership believes the part shouldn' wear like that over so few miles but they won't warranty the gasket because Honda won't cover it. Has anyone else had this problem. Please don't say the seat belt did it, I'm extremely careful with my getting in and out of the seat. I love the car but feel slighted by the dealership and Honda.

Replying to: lweeks (Aug 02, 2008 4:14 pm) my 2008 Honda Civic only has 10,500 miles on it & I need new tires. Firestone says there is no mileage warranty on new cars, so I am stuck buying new tires. The dealer, Ralph Schomps Honda offered me a "forever tire replacement warranty" which I did not buy, but I can't help but wonder if I would have had better tires if I had bought it.

Replying to: bb7813 (Aug 27, 2009 5:08 pm) Hi, Sorry to hear about yet another couple of victims of poor suspension design on Honda Civics. Honda should come clean with both of these examples, admit they have design faults in the rear suspension and recall all 2008 Civics...and pay for new tires....but they won't, not until something happens ie. consumer pressure or regulatory intervention or worse, an incident that causes bodily harm. My tires are OK (tons of road noise) but the car is becoming more and more unstable on the road, especially when one of the rear wheels hits a bump in the road and the car decides to venture off into another lane. I agree with Honda in that the car is "exciting to drive", especially for the people beside me. Anyway, I'm still trying to sell it so better not slam the car any longer. Good luck with your tires but it's the car design to blame.... Paul
