Home / Maintenance Schedule / 2020 Honda Civic
When each service is due on the 2020 Honda Civic — oil, filters, brakes, belts and fluids.
Engine oil: 0W-20 full synthetic, every 7,500 miles under normal driving. Honda's Maintenance Minder shows oil life as a percentage; change the oil when it reaches 15% or lower. Iridium spark plugs last about 100,000 miles.
