2018 Civic Maintenance Service Minder

It is time for another oil change, and service minder shows A 1 3. I know 3 means transmission fluid change, but my transmission fluid was changed several months ago at a Honda dealer. Does anybody know how the computer suggests maintenance services, or is there anything wrong in my case? Thanks a lot.

George

My interval for ATF is every 30k miles. Honda fluid only.

May be the 1st ATF fluid change..... has shown up.

Reset and drive on !!

Re: 2018 Civic Maintenance Service Minder

That's what I thought (minders showing up after driving a certain distance). Just a little strange to me that CVT fluid changed under 10k miles ago.

The computer knows that the minder was reset, it doesn't necessarily know that you changed the fluid

The mechanic forgot to reset that individual maint item manually when the service was completed.

Yet another reason you should keep your own records of all services.
