When to service/oil change?

[jzchen]

Quite annoyed with the service minder. Yesterday it guestimated 10 days until 1 7 are due. Today my wife takes it to go have a physical and comes back. I was going to take it somewhere and when I turn it on I'm surprised with Service Due Now. Weather is rainy on and off so only got to lift her up and pull off the wheels. Still have some tools in transit from Amazon. I wasn't expecting to need to do this until the 18th. Current ODO reading 37733 mi.

After the brake fluid change I reset only # 7, and it estimates tire rotation, #1, will be due in 2 months, roughly 7k miles from last time.

BTW- The air filter change was easy to do. And now there are a couple youtube videos on it to provide guidance.

Cabin filter or engine air filter?

Engine air filter. I don't usually bother with the cabin air filter. For years, I had cars that didn't have those. I see very little value in them. As long as the air flows okay through the vents/AC, I'm happy. But I will change engine air filter at recommended intervals.

We were driving yesterday and no surprise even though 10 or 11 days were left, all of a sudden a chime and it says maintenance due now. We got home late and I was tired. This morning I wake up to try to start A 0 1 2. I start with the oil and filter change. That's all I have time to do, I reset just the A. Now it is back to service due soon. Took a peek tonight and it says 20 days...

A 0 1 2 was due as I noted last post, but HondaLink only specified A in the description. A 0 1 2 was listed on the blue bar at the top.

After just doing the oil & filter change, resetting A left me with 20 days until 0 1 2 were due. Now at 11 days, blue bar says 0 1 2 but description only says 0. I will only do 0 and then reset it when the the car says due again. Then I'll report. Seems like HondaLink knows which specific item is actually due....

3 or 4 days ago cluster said 0 1 2 is due, (I guess 50 mi). I finished 0 this morning (sans transmission fluid level check) while still cool out and reset 0. 7 Weeks popped up on the display, 1 2 are what's left.

Last Thursday on the way to San Diego car said 1 2 were due. Dropped by a nearby America's Tire and had tires rotated and balanced. Just before I continued I reset the 1 and 2 is noted as due in 8 weeks. (2 is cabin air filter change if I'm not mistaken).

At 46,932 mi I had the tires rotated and reset 1. Now at 49,8xx mi or 49,9xx mi it is saying A 1 2 is due soon. Honda Link says A, oil filter change, is due. I don't think so. only 2 is likely really due soon. Got an estimated 19 days left and will update this thread...
