Your caps are stuck on. Most cars, when bought new, come with a service schedule book where you can take note and document the service done. Yours didn’t? If so, ask your dealers. ---

**_I Think Honda Is Saving Paper. I Believe It’s A Situation Where The Car Is Supposed To Use Idiot Lights And Driver Information Alerts To Inform A Driver When To Do What._** Dumbing down, You’re supposed to ask a friendly dealer who’ll have the opportunity to sell you all kinds of service, necessary and otherwise.

You can use this but I would advise caution if you do. Note that some of the services tell you to rely on a dashboard OLM and this gets many people in trouble by leaving them with a damaged engine or other component system. [http://9thcivic.com/forum/forums/2012-honda-civic-maintenance-schedules.111/](http://9thcivic.com/forum/forums/2012-honda-civic-maintenance-schedules.111/) Changing the oil once a year may not be good enough depending on your driving habits, enviro conditions, and so on. I also note that Honda, like others, is still making that totally misguided recommendation about how to inspect valve lash by stating it should be done “when they’re noisy”. Jesus Christ; one would think that a factory full of experts would know better. The quiet valves are the ones that should be of more concern. ---

_**"The quiet valves are the ones that should be of more concern." Dumbing Down Is Convenient. Ignorance Is Bliss. However, Replacing Burned Valves And Seats Is Not.**_ **_CSA_** ---

Here it is from Honda’s Canada website: [http://www.honda.ca/owners/honda-services/maintenance-calculator](http://www.honda.ca/owners/honda-services/maintenance-calculator) There is one for the US, but you need to go through a free registration first. ---
