Regarding your Civic, and mine, Honda doesn't have a "severe service" schedule for oil changes. The Owners Manual references CVT fluid changes at 25k miles if you live in the mountains, and they also reference changing air filters (cabin and engine) at 15k miles. Nothing for the engine oil, though. That said, I'm doing mine at 6 months, because almost all my driving is short trip, and my 1.5T does gas dilute the oil.
My Civic is the port injected 2.0 so it’s pretty easy on the oil and doesn’t have a dilution problem. If I had the 1.5 I wouldn’t likely be able to do 10k intervals.
Too bad Honda got rid of that engine. The new 2.0 is direct injected.
I don’t understand why they did that, they should not have messed with a good thing. If I replace my Civic with another one in the future I will have to stick with a 2024 or earlier in order to get it with port injection
Most manufacturers have already moved onto DI or at the least, MPI and DI. it’s only going to increase.
True, but there was a time in the late 2010's/early 2020's when Honda didn't have any port injected engines, only DI and DI with turbo.
That’s not true at all
I have one 2.0T 75,000 miles. Equals new no cost to me engine,turbo,cat.
True - but here’s a side note : Having Hyundai / Kia potentially not treat you so well making you jump through hoops to prove your warranty claim , pay or not pay for a rental car smaller than your broken down Hyundai / Kia for up to several weeks , etc. would tend to make me want to do what I can to keep it running as best I can and avoid the hassle of warranty claims . The other school of thought is to do 5K mile OCI’s with Super Tech synthetic oil and never care if the engine drinks oil and grenades itself anytime it desires because you have 100% faith Hyundai / Kia are wonderful to deal with on any claims .
Man that sucks. Does she drive around feeling like that too or is it just a parent’s worry kinda thing?
Could probably bump that up to at least 3750 with VRP. People seeing good results with it.
