Service 08 civic vti every 6 months or 10000 km

[jazznewbie]

Hi guys,

A 60000 km service was done in August 2012. It is approaching 66000 km, should i wait till 70000 km to get it service or service it now because it has reached six months since the last service.

Cheers

How much do you care about your car?

A lot of people do intermittent oil changes at 5000k then go service every 10000 to get the full inspection done

This ... also I think its every six months unless you do the 10,000km, but as it was expressed above it depends on how much you care about your car.

With it being summer as well I personally would, its better to fork it out, then be stuck on the side of the road :-<.

just do an oil and filter change every 5k then every 10k get a full service done if needed as the above people have said.

with the civic servicing costs are pretty reasonable so there shouldnt be any reason not to do it every 5k!
