Hello there sir
My civic oriel 11 gen has started to show a warning that indicated change of oil. The car is run only 5900 approx and Honda had told me that the oil change is on 10000
Any ideas plz
Thanks for your time
I am attaching a photo of the warning

Yes, this started showing up in my car last week. Oil needs to be changed at 6 months or 10k mileage. Current mileage of my car is 6000KM but it's been five months so I'm going to get this maintenance done tomorrow. Another interesting thing i noticed that if you go into Maintenance section in meter settings, it shows I can still drive for like 1500km before getting oil change so there should be an option to dismiss this until that number is < 100km but its better to get this changed early anyways.

Thanks!

[naqvi1]

Thanks there, always good to be extra careful with turbo charged however my car’s running is 6000 at 5 months. Particular warning alighting that early is 🥸🧐…….

this reading is always less than the actual meter ODO reading.
For example, if OIL life is 10,000km when you reset it at the time of oil change.

You will notice OIL Life remaining as 3000km where the ODI has clocked only 5000km

this depends on the driving style and may vary from car to car.
like

1. if there is too much idling, the oil life reduces even without mileage.
2. if A/C is used too much
3. if the car is used on higher RPMs

Above is my observation after using this feature for over 70,000km in Honda CiviC

[esze1350]

Yes, it depends on driving style and driving conditions/environment. Will also depend on Oil quality and how well you maintain the car.
It will never ask u to change at 10,000km, there is an oil viscosity measuring instrument built into it.
You should make sure that the mechanic turns this to Zero when he changes the oil. But as I said it will never ask u to change exactly at 10,000km, it will always be less. In the best-case scenario, it will ask you to change oil around 7,500~8,500 km.
But the alarm would come in advance so that you have enough mileage left to go for Oil Change at your convenience!

[naqvi1]

Thanks all brothers…… too much technology is also dard e sar……. I guess

[tech_wiz]

I don't think oil viscosity is measured or there is any instrument to accurately tell the actual condition of oil.

So all these oil service life monitors are not accurate to the level at which you all are believing.

10K Maintenance done. Oil Change indication gone now. Honda techs advised that i should visit as soon as that message pop ups instead of waiting for actual mileage to complete. No harm in getting the maintenance done a bit early.

[harisworld13]

Did they changed oil for this gen ... this oil recommendation is for 10k mileage ?

[harisworld13]

What is the current delivery conditions ?
im interested to book RS what do you guys suggest ? tentative month will be June i guess

[awabsahb1]

Anyone ? 3 Pros and 3 Cons of The New Civic?

[pwuser151967054480]

Same oil is being used. They're now finally catching up with the world with oil life. 5k Kms or 3 months recommendation before was extremely conservative and wasteful especially with synthetic oils. Even our neighbour India, with similar environmental conditions and worse driving conditions have 10k Kms oil changes for a few years now.

[tech_wiz]

It all depends on # of cold starts, distance driven per trip and quality of oil.

Anything above and beyond that is just time waste.

In Direct Injection turbocharged engines, it’s much much better to change it earlier. Cost of frequent oil changes is nothing compared to the problems it can cause if you don’t.

Imagine doing 3 cold starts a day, every day and driving over short distances in stop and go traffic for 10K KMs before new oil.

[pwuser151967054480]

Yeah for these new engines it's best to go with whatever the oil life monitor says. But I have slight doubts about atlas calibrating local civics olms being more conservative. 6k Kms on synthetic oil is still very conservative unless the car is cold started and short trip driven a lot. Or maybe the olm is calling for earlier change because of the engine still being in the break in period.

[pwuser150426808961]

1. Better Drive, as in combination of better bump absorption ability without really compromising Civic Nature and a lighter steering, personally felt better.

2. More Spacious certainly and slightly better seats (Slightly )

3. Cabin looks and feels good, again slightly more than the last one. Cars feels modern and techy without really being both 🤣

4. Headlamps in Oriel is a downgrade compared to previous oriel.

5. Price, I think

6. Head-unit is only good for BT music, don’t have much expectations

[waqasahmed03]

al right guys. this oil change is a scam too. they make a lot of money over oil change so keep in mind:

1. if an oil says its for 5000, do not change before 5000 or 10000 or whatever the range is. if you are too concerned, check the viscosity physically. you can also learn from checking oil if once its being changed. an 8000 km oil is a just a slightly different then a 5000 run oil.

2. also, the ranges on oil boxes themselves have a cushion of 500-1000 km. so in reality, you must use a 5000 km oil upto 6000 or 6500 specially in a intra city run.

3. You can also tell by the drive of your engine when it really needs an oil change. also, do not mix the kick you get out after oil change with air filter. air filter also tremendously improves engine performance initially.

4. all i want to say is that be easy on oil change. you must always go over limit the ranges mentioned; just dont change if before the registered limit specially if you are not flooring the car.

5. I have driven 2 honda civic & a city with 6500 oil change regime against recommended 5000. mileages were 165000. 50,000 & 80,000. smooth as silk. even when i drove till 8000 once, the ustad je couldnt guess if the oil has viscosity issue. so just relax guys.

I am open to valuable feedback from experts because i beleive this oil change is among the industry bluffs as well.

"This is a common tactic used by personnel in automotive repair and quick lube shops. Most of the synthetic oils today can go from 6,000 (10,000 km ) to 10,000 miles (16,000). Higher-quality oils can last up to 15, 000 miles."

[Ali.A.Khan]

Honda I think says to get the oil changed at 10K kms but if the change indicator comes on before that then it would probably have to be changed since the warranty factor comes into play then.
