2023 Honda Civic Oil Change Schedule
Change the oil in your 2023 Honda Civic every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Or change it when the Maintenance Minder system lights up on your dash. Honda designs this car to use full synthetic 0W-20 oil under normal driving.
How the Maintenance Minder Works
Honda's Maintenance Minder system works better than fixed mileage schedules. It monitors engine data and displays codes on the dash. These codes show exact service needs based on your driving style.
| Code | What It Means | Typical Miles |
|---|---|---|
| A | Oil change only | 7,500 to 10,000 |
| B | Oil change, new filter, inspections | 7,500 to 10,000 |
Code A signals an oil change. Code B includes a new oil filter plus checks on brakes, fluids, and tires. If you drive in severe conditions like short trips or dusty roads, shorten intervals to 5,000 miles.
Choose the Right Oil
Pick full synthetic 0W-20 oil. Honda specifies this grade for your Civic's engine. Synthetic oil fights wear better than conventional oil. It cuts engine wear by 45% and boosts engine life by 40%. Your engine holds 3.7 quarts. After filling, check the dipstick. Keep oil level between low and full marks. Excess oil creates foam, reduces lubrication, and damages the catalytic converter.
Other Maintenance Tasks
Handle these tasks at oil change time to keep your Civic strong.
| Task | Interval |
|---|---|
| Air filter | 15,000 to 30,000 miles |
| Tire rotation | Every oil change |
| Transmission fluid | 30,000 to 60,000 miles |
| Spark plugs | 100,000 miles |
Rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Swap the air filter earlier if you hit dust or pollen. Fresh spark plugs boost fuel economy.
Tips to Stay on Schedule
- Reset the Maintenance Minder right after service.
- Log your miles and driving conditions in an app or notebook.
- Visit a shop that stocks Honda-approved oil.
