Have you owned the car for 6months now? I think it needs a service.

Most new models have the 2nd service at 6months or 10,000km (which ever comes first).

To make things more confusing, I looked at the service schedule for the 2016 Civic LX on Honda.com.au and it only says it's due at 10,000km (not 6months), but most other models say 6months OR 10,000km. https://www.honda.com.au/why-honda/servicing.html


The tailored service price is $281.00.

I personally think its due for another one if you've owned the car for 6months, being a new engine and all. I don't think the dash warning light, the text system and the dealer are going to all be wrong when you consider most models say 6 months also.

Double check with them, and if you're really worried, get them to give you written proof of you actually needing a 6 month service.
