2003 Civic EX Maintenance?
Hi All,
I have tried looking for answers but didn't see any...
I have a 2003 Honda Civic EX with about 45,600 miles on it (yeah I
know it is really quite low).
I got it from someone in Georgia who rarely drove it than drove it out
to UT and have had it about a year out here. I had the oil changed
once around 44k since it was 6 months after I bought the car.
However, my question now is this:
I have read the service manual with both normal and severe conditions
but the amount I drive my car is almost nothing, less than 7k a
year....therefore should I be following the manual in terms of when to
service it or should I just get new oil changes, tire rotations, etc
every 6 months or every 12 months?
I drive it pretty much daily but the distance is less than 5 miles in
any one trip and less than 15 miles per day most days so it is being
used but just for shorter trips with occasional longer trips.
I want this car to last me another 10 years at least so I want to take
care of it but I can't find anywhere what kind of maintenance to do on
it when I drive it such short distances in a year.
Thanks!
