Hi, I recently bought a new 2008 Honda Civic Sedan EX after my older
model (2005) was totalled during a car accident. I'm still getting
used to the new car but so far so good. One big big change with the
new car is what appears to be the absence of a maintenance schedule.
I'm used to going to the service at 5000 miles intervals and following
the owner's manual as to when to service my car. Now with all the new
features in the 2008 model like maintenance reminders etc, and the
absence of a schedule maintenance in the owner's manual, is there no
point to following your standard 5000 miles scheduled maintenance to,
say, get your oil change etc or your typical 10,000-interval mile
service to a shop (like tire rotation, brake fluid check, etc)?
