What Factors Impact My Honda Civic Oil Life?
We all know that oil is essential to the proper function of our Civic, but what factors can impact the life of our oil? While the Honda Maintenance Minder System manages the Engine Oil Indicator as well as other important dashboard lights and indicators, things like engine load and temperature, mileage, and car and engine speed can all affect your oil life. If your Honda Civic oil light flashes before your next oil change, this can mean that the oil’s additives are breaking down and you should seek maintenance soon.
