The table above is indexed by service interval. This is the same schedule indexed by odometer reading, for when you know your mileage and want the list. If your odometer sits between these figures, work back to the last one you passed and catch up anything skipped.
| Odometer | Service due |
|---|---|
| 30,000 mi (48,000 km) | Engine oil change (0W-20 full synthetic), Reset the oil life monitor, Replace engine oil and filter, Inspect brakes and brake fluid, Inspect suspension, steering, driveshaft boots, exhaust, and fuel lines. |
| 60,000 mi (97,000 km) | Same as the 30,000 mi service. |
| 90,000 mi (145,000 km) | Same as the 30,000 mi service. |
| 120,000 mi (193,000 km) | Same as the 30,000 mi service. |
| 150,000 mi (241,000 km) | Same as the 30,000 mi service. |
Honda schedules this vehicle by Maintenance Minder code rather than by odometer, so the mileages above are the typical points those codes appear - the car itself decides, based on how it has been driven.
