#160423 I change oil every 3000k miles, more for synthetic. The brakes have a warning indicator so they will make a squeak noise to let you know when they get low. You can take the wheel off and check too.
Check valve lash every 15k miles. Change tranny fluid every 20k miles?
Overall civics are very low maintenance. It's not normal for oem parts to wear out or break :thumb:
