Never seen that before...but I bet it's got more to do with engine cooling than cabin temp.

Keep receipts for all the work you do yourself. Generally, the maintenance minder goes A,B,A,B...the sub codes depend on how you drive. Typically, you'll see an MM1 (tire rotation)every other service; MM2 every 40 000km-ish, an MM3 anywhere from 72 000-100 000km, and an MM4 around 150 000- 160...

That sounds about right. I'd top up to the top mark and start monitoring again.

The "Honda way" is to replace the pistons and rings without removing the engine. Its a lot of up and down with the hoist. Head comes off, oil pan comes off, pistons pushed out the top from underneath. But not everyone does it the "Honda way".

Even at the dealership level, all recent manuals are online.

You have to let the vehicle sit on level ground for 15-20 minutes after running the engine before checking the oil to get an accurate measurement. It takes that long for the oil to run completely back into the crankcase. If you have an Si oil consumption issue, believe me, you'd know - its not...

New cars do burn oil, sometimes heavily, during break in. My Si is in the VIN range for repair. I added 400ml after only 1800km and I thought "OK here we go..." Since then it has used virtually no oil - now at 6000km. And for what its worth I do not follow the Maintenance Minder. I change my oil...

Honda's way is not to remove the engine - but to make the repair in car... that's not to say every dealer does it this way...

If you show up with, oh lets say 60% oil life showing on your I mid and little or no oil on your dipstick they may not even do an oil consumption test. We don't for this issue - its a lay down at our store as we and Honda know that there is a known problem and a fix for vehicles within the VIN...

First off - its not a recall. If your from the US, find the appropriate TSB here http://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/info-recalls-tsbs-and-common-problems-2012-all-trims.560/ and check your VIN - if your car is in the range and it is using oil excessively the bulletin applies

Don't sweat it - you'll get your rings. Remember that TSB's are done on a complaint only basis - as oppose to recalls which are mandatory. In Canada the protocol is for the dealer to run a vehicle owner inquiry each and every time the vehicle comes to the dealer for service in order to check for...

That would be swell!

Was looking for my plumbing tools and came across an old snooker ball... priorities took over and... New shift knob!! Wife says she won't be able to drive my car anymore because she won't know where the gears are...seriously! :pat: I told here I left the old knob in the console for reference!

Maybe a loose damper spring?

Holy cow! Two months to settle a fender bender! :banghead:

Mine...showing my true colors...

Nice pics! As I have the same car as you its taken the guess work out - the I wonder how it'll look on my car factor. How's the fit and finish? I think I need these... :D

@PRO Civic , Any issues with DRL's?

I've had 2 GTI's over the years... the most fun and biggest POS's I've ever owned. And every year, at the auto show, like a moth to the flame I visit the VW display. Luckily last year my kids pulled me out just before I blacked out and bought one. :police:

:canada: Go Hinch!!!!
