Maintenance light
At what mileage interval does the maintenance required light come on? I've put almost 6k miles since resetting it and still nothing. The bulb is good I can see the light when I turn my key. And I reset the light when i bought the car. But still hasn't popped back on,, just curious.

Re: Maintenance light
it should pop on every 10k miles. It'll start flashing at you at 8k miles, then steady on at 10k

Set your own maintenance cycle. Mine is around 5k. Often the MM states 30-50 percentage still left to go.
The maintenance that should be investigated is.....the timing belts life.

Yeah, that's what I do. But I finally have a car with a reminder light so I wanted to be able to just follow that. But there's no way I'm waiting that long lol. I'm at 6k but my oil is still clean so I wasn't worried, just weird that the light wasn't coming on but now I know. Thanks

On the 01-05, it just comes on at mileage intervals. It doesn't take into account driving habits like the 06+ civics do
