I haven't gotten a service reminder in a very long time and am starting to wonder if this is normal. The last time I had my car serviced was January 28th, 2020. But I haven't gotten a service reminder from the car and it's almost 6 months now. Should I schedule a service appointment regardless at this point?
I tend to trust the maintenance reminder, and would vote for no additional service. How many miles have you driven?
ProspectiveBuyer Below is a link to the thread which posts data collected off a Clarity maintenance minder(MM) and pretty clearly shows the logic behind the MM process. Hopefully this will help you cipher what goes on behind the magic curtain and figure out the status of the Clarity you drive. https://insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/a-day-in-the-life-of-the-clarity-maintenance-minder.8189/ Good luck!
My reminder came up one week short of 1 year, about 10,000 miles. The only thing I did was to have my tires rotated and cleared the tire rotation when it was done.
Same for me. Just don't have enough ICE miles to warrant oil change et al. Low maintenance is not an empty promise with this car.
I hear what you are saying. My minder 4 months ago said two months. I think it is as a result of Covid and less driving and that driving for me is more electric than gas. I will be doing an oil change at 12 months even if the minder does not tell me to. I am nervous about oil dilution (moisture in the oil) from short periods of the engine firing up. I know Honda has coded the engine to stay on to avoid this, but for the sake of $70..........
$70??? In NJ, pretty much all Honda dealers give you free oil changes for life... Maintenance due in a week. $10 for the tire rotation and free oil change and multi point inspection. Already got a new cabin filter.
Did the last maintenance in January following MM prompt, six months after the previous one. Dealer said next one would be in 6 months/5000 miles, whichever came first. Now courtesy of Covid-19 I have driven just like 1200 miles since January. Checked MM and it says service due in 5 months. So I guess it would be December.
