Maintenance Schedule for 2022-2024 Honda Civic
Data status
- OWNER COMPLAINTS: No NHTSA complaints found for this make/model/year/issue combination.
- OFFICIAL RECALLS: No recalls found in NHTSA database.
- No recalls found in NHTSA database (as noted in the data you supplied).
- Data limitations: The absence of complaints or recalls in the supplied data does not imply the vehicle is free of potential issues. It also means this maintenance guide relies on general automotive practice and typical Honda maintenance norms, not on specific NHTSA case history. Always follow the official Owner’s Manual for the most precise intervals and service specifications for your exact vehicle.
Purpose of this guide
- Provide a practical, owner-focused maintenance plan for the 2022-2024 Honda Civic (all trim levels with the common 1.5L turbo or 2.0L engine options and CVT or manual transmissions).
- Use general automotive knowledge for typical service intervals and costs, with clear notes where Honda-specific recommendations may differ.
- Include 2025 cost estimates where relevant to help with budgeting.
Key assumptions
- Normal, everyday driving in moderate climates (not extreme heat or subzero environments).
- Oil: synthetic recommended by many manufacturers for modern Civics; interval adjustments may apply if you experience severe driving conditions (short trips, lots of idling, towing, heavy loads, or extreme weather).
- Transmission: Honda CVT (common in these model years) or manual transmission; CVT fluid service intervals described reflect common practice but check the owner’s manual.
- Costs shown are 2025 estimates and will vary by region, shop, and exact trim/engine.
What this guide covers
- A practical maintenance calendar by mileage/age
- Seasonal checklists (winter and summer)
- System-by-system maintenance guidance
- Budget estimates for 2025 to help with planning
- How to maintain a simple, easy-to-use service log
Quick reference: recommended maintenance cadence (normal driving)
- Oil and filter changes: every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first (synthetic oil is common for these Civics; severe driving conditions may shorten this interval to 5,000–6,000 miles or 6 months)
- Tire rotation: every 7,500–10,000 miles or at every other oil change
- Engine air filter: inspect around 15,000 miles; replace around 30,000–45,000 miles depending on conditions
- Cabin air filter: inspect around 15,000 miles; replace around 15,000–30,000 miles depending on environment
- Brake inspection: at least at every oil-change interval; more often if you hear squealing or feel pulsation
- Brake fluid: replacement every 2–3 years (check your manual and local conditions)
- Coolant (engine coolant/antifreeze): replace around 100,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first (some conditions may call for earlier service)
- Spark plugs: typically every 100,000 miles (or as specified in the manual)
- Transmission fluid (CVT, if equipped): replace around 60,000 miles under normal driving (older or severe conditions may shorten this interval)
- Battery: battery health check annually after about 3–4 years of age
- Tires: replace when tread depth is below the legal/recommended limit (usually 2/32" to 3/32" depending on local law and tire type)

Seasonal maintenance checklists
Winter (cold climates)
- Check battery health and charging system

- Keep digital copies or photos of receipts
- Set calendar reminders for the next due service
Practical tips for 2022-2024 Honda Civic owners
- Follow the owner’s manual for official intervals; the schedule above reflects typical practice and may be adjusted by your dealer’s service recommendations.
- If you drive in harsh conditions (dusty roads, frequent short trips, or heavy traffic), consider shortening some intervals (oil changes every 5,000–6,000 miles, cabin/engine air filter replacements earlier, etc.).
- Use OEM or OEM-recommended fluids and filters to protect warranty coverage and optimize performance.
- For CVT-equipped Civics, regular CVT fluid changes are important; do not neglect transmission service if you notice slipping or shuddering.
- When replacing spark plugs, have the technician torque correctly and use the proper heat range for best performance and longevity.
Limitations and transparency
- This guide is based on general automotive maintenance practices and typical Honda recommendations applicable to 2022-2024 Civics. It reflects normal driving patterns and does not replace the official maintenance schedule in your Owner’s Manual.
- No recalls and no owner complaints are reported in the provided NHTSA data for this model/year; those data do not guarantee absence of all issues in the real world.
- Costs are estimates for 2025 and will vary by region, shop, and specific vehicle condition or options.
If you’d like, I can tailor this schedule to your actual driving conditions (city vs. highway mix, climate, weekly mileage) and provide a personalized 2-year and 5-year maintenance plan with detailed price estimates for your area.
