Every paper/online I read, the numbers are different.

I have a new 2002 Civic EX and I'm almost reaching 5500 miles.

Is this a schedule to go with?

you don't really have to follow the manual.

as for me, i go to dealer every 3months...after gettin oil change 3times, i go. (no more than 3G miles !)

well i to get my oil changed every 3K miles. its a must. but i'm goin on 9,000 miles and i havn't taken it in yet. althouhg i've only had the car for 3 months. i'm takin in it to get oil changed and maintenance. i saw every 6,000-9,000 miles mantenance while under warranty.

I take it in every three thousand but, I have only 17800 on a 2k1.

i take mine around every 3k miles. no more then 4k, but honda recomends 5k miles. so who knows i just play it safe no more the 4k

INJEN

I do all the maintenance myself.

only take mines in for warranty repairs

IF i need it

The manual says every 5k miles under severe driving and every 10K miles under normal driving. I'm going the every 5k route because I drive in severe conditions.

same... i never take it to the dealer just for an oil change. rip off.

how many miles you guys have? i have 17,600 and i havent taken it in for any maintenance hahaha. Just a few oil changes thats it.

I've got 19,780, almost time for 20,000 mile oil change...no maintenance at all, except alignment because I got new rims and somehow it messed with the alignment of my steering wheel??? I don't know, I just know I had to get it done.

My 2k1 will go over 50,000 miles in a few days and I have never taken to the dealership for anything except warranty - most of which was a waste of time because the problems are still there. (Fuel gauge , creaky clutch , clunking noise in steering over bumps)

All my oil changes , tire rotations , fluid top offs , door hinge lubrication , wiper blade replacement and air filter replacement have been done at home.
