hey dude, so about checking engine valves on your Honda Civic LX. I usually check mine every 30k miles or so, but some say 60k is fine too. But honestly, I just like to be safe, you know?
I remember last summer, I thought I was cool and skipped it for too long. then one day, my engine started making this weird noise, and I freaked out. Turns out, it was just a valve adjustment. And that’s when I learned, better safe than sorry.
have you had any valve issues? I kinda wonder if I’m just overthinking things.
I had my Civic valve checked once last year in Michigan and it was a hassle but needed. I’ve heard once a year is fine unless there’s an issue. Just make sure to listen for any weird noises on the road.
I’ve got a 2016 Honda Civic LX and I check my engine valves like twice a year. Honestly feels like overkill but our mechanic back in Ontario said so. Heard horror stories of what could happen if they’d outta tune so better safe than sorry. Just my two cents.
last summer I took my '02 Civic to the mechanic and he told me to check the valves every 30k miles so Ive kept that in mind since then.
I put on some miles driving around Toronto and it feels like checking them regularly helps maintain that smooth ride.
definitely better to be safe than sorry in my experience. small things like that can make the biggest difference. you really don’t want to skip it.
I’ve had my Honda Civic LX for years now and honestly I don’t check the engine valve as often as I probably should. Once a year sounds about right for me usually after the winter months. The cold really gets to it sometimes. Just my two cents.
I’ve heard the valve checks can be kinda complicated. When I had my Civic in Seattle it seemed like I was always worried about those. Some say every 30k miles but honestly I’ve checked way more than that just to be safe. Better to be cautious right
I have a friend who’s never touched his valves and his car runs smooth so go figure. I guess it really depends on your driving style or something. Just keep that oil fresh and you should be fine.
I ve got a 2016 Civic LX and I check my engine valve every 30k miles or so. Living in Seattle the rain can mess things up. I found some gunk in there once and it made me nervous. Better safe than sorry right
But honestly I think every 10k miles is a solid plan just in case
I have always checked my engine valve every 30k miles just to be safe especially living in Toronto where the winters can be brutal. Last winter my friend’s Civic had a rough idle because he ignored it. I ve noticed my car runs smoother when I stay on top of maintenance. Just my two cents.
I’ve had my Honda Civic LX for a few years now living in Canada where the weather really messes with the engine. I used to check my valves every 15k miles but now I feel like that’s a bit much unless you hear weird noises or feel a loss in power. Personally I think checking them once a year should do the trick and keep things running smooth.
I have a 2012 Civic LX and I check the valves every 30k miles just to be safe. In New York they’re pretty reliable but I ve seen issues with neglect. Better be safe than sorry right.
I remember when I checked my valves for the first time on my Civic in Toronto it felt like a rite of passage. If you’re driving regularly maybe every 30k miles is solid but if you’re feeling noises maybe go sooner. Better safe than sorry I think.
I’ve never thought about checking the engine valve on my Civic till my buddy in Toronto told me it’s like a hidden treasure hunt. I found out I should be doing it more often than I thought like every 30k miles or so. It’s kinda easy to forget but I’ve noticed better performance now. Just saying.
I ve had my Civic for about three years now and I always check the valves every 30k miles. better safe than sorry
Trust me you don’t want to skip it I think it saves you from a lot of headaches later on.
