2006 Civic Upkeep
We purchased our Honda Civic this past January. We had the dealer do
a 1,000 mile check, and we have brought it in to Jiffy Lube for oil
and filter changes and fluid checks. I cannot figure out what the
regular maintenance schedule should be. I used to bring our old 1998
Civic in to the dealer for pre-winter and post-winter routine
maintenance. Should I still be doing this, or do I just wait for a
warning light to flash?

Did you read the fine manual that came with your shiny new $17,000 toy?
If not, you get what you deserve.

Especially for going to Jiffy Lube for that matter.

Re: 2006 Civic Upkeep
There is no 1,000 mile check for an '06 Civic. The computer tells you
when the car needs maintenance. I just brought mine in for its first
oil change at 7,800 miles and 7 months.
Keep your Honda AWAY from lube places, unless you really dislike the car
and want a reason to get rid of it.

Re: 2006 Civic Upkeep
Interesting replys.
1. Why are people so upset with Jiffy Lube and the other lube places?
2. I have read the manual and cannot figure out what the maintenance
schedule is. In the old days there was a schedule that had a grid
indicating what maintenance needed to be performed at various milles.
Where in the 2006 manual is the new grid?

Those places tend to use the wrong fluids (e.g. generic instead of
manufacturer-specific) and overcharge for their services. In fact, there
was a news story recently about some of these places charging for services
that were never even performed.
