40,000 kms service Civic

[clayton4115]

hi all

i got a 2005 Honda Civic Sedan GLI Auto (which ive only done 25,000 kms)

In December i am coming up to my 40k service i would like to know

how much is this going to cost $$$

and what things they service, as i believe the 40k and every 40k is a major service

thanks!

oil + filter
air filter
tappets
auto trans service

should be around $485 using genuine parts, but it will depend on their labour rate and if any extras are required

[clayton4115]

ok thank u, that sounds reasonable for a major service.

why would you give it a 40 000km service when its only done 25000kms

[clayton4115]

why would you give it a 40 000km service when its only done 25000kms

because thats what it says in the owners manual

it says which ever comes first i.e the service interval 6 months or the Kms (10k, 20k, 30l etc)

didnt realise about the kms.....

tappets wont need to be done, trans is still an option if u haven't had the ATF replaced previously, a clean of the air filter would most likely get it thru to the next service.

you're also approaching a brake fluid change, depending on the build date of the car

ok got my service done today at Austral Honda at Newstead, $535 !!!! for a low kilometre service, car has 25k on it,

did i get ripped???

[abzndintegra]

the manual mght say 6 months or 10kilometres etc

but it doesnt mean you have to do it, ive always followed the kilometres and ignored the time.

unless you have heaps of $$$$ to throw away

I recommend just follow kilometres.

[clayton4115]

yea your right, i might just stick with the kilometres next time!!! ive done 25,500 so im going to wait till i hit 40,000kms and then get it serviced again ! should be 12 months away !

[abzndintegra]

ok no dont wait till 40000 then youve waited too long

hondas are servied every ten, cop it sweet. do the next service at 30, then continue with 10 intervals

[clayton4115]

well considering i am going to drive 4000 kms in the next few weeks i aint planning to service the car so soon.
