so about my 11th gen civic, I’ve learned a few things on maintenance since I got it. In Florida, you really gotta think about the heat and humidity. I usually take it in every 5,000 miles or so. Oil changes are super important, trust me. I skipped one and my car started sounding like a blender on the fritz.
But like, beyond oil changes, I check brakes every year. those sandy roads get to them. I’ve also been told to look at air filters more often here, ‘cause of pollen and junk.
so, how often do you guys do all your checks? seems like everyone has their own routine, right? Can’t be too careful with these things.
I ve always kept my Civic on a strict schedule back in Orlando I change my oil every 5k miles and do a full checkup every year. Just feels right.
I have a Civic too and in Florida the humidity really messes with stuff so I’d say don’t skip maintenance I’ve been sticking to the recommended schedule and it really helps. Keeps everything running smooth especially with summer storms hitting. Gotta love that climate.
I’ve had my Civic for a couple years now and living in Florida the heat is real. I usually do my maintenance every 5k miles just to be safe. It helps keep everything smooth. I’ve noticed the A/C likes to act up otherwise.
Honestly I think people downplay how important it is in the humidity.
Last summer I got my 11th gen Civic serviced in Orlando and let me tell you it was a game changer. Every six months seems like a good rhythm considering Florida’s sun and humidity. I’ve noticed way better handling on those winding coastal roads. Just don’t skip the oil changes.
I usually take mine in every 5k miles in Florida but it kinda depends on how often you drive. I ve heard the heat can mess with things more than you think. My friend ignores it and always regrets it later. It’s wild.
I ve always found that every 5k miles is pretty solid for maintenance. Living in Miami my Civic is exposed to crazy heat.
Just my two cents but I guess it depends on how you drive it too.
I live in Florida and I’ve found that getting maintenance every 5,000 miles is solid for my Civic. The heat really beats on the car here. I used to stretch it out but I ended up with some weird noises. Just stay on top of it and you should be fine. Plus oil changes are usually super cheap.
I ve always gotten my Civic serviced every 5k miles in Orlando. The heat really takes a toll. I think keeping up on maintenance is super important to avoid bigger issues later.
I live in Florida and I ve been pretty good about servicing my 11th gen Civic every 5k miles. Just makes sense with the heat and humidity here.
If I skip the maintenance I can feel it in the way the engine purrs or doesn’t. Plus the roads can be rough sometimes.
I’ve found getting maintenance every 5k miles works for me here in Florida. The heat can be brutal on cars. I ve had my Civic for a couple of years now and it’s usually fine if I stay on top of things.
But honestly it’s a bit of a hassle sometimes with all the rain and humidity down here. Gotta keep an eye on the battery too.
I’ve had my Civic for a while now and living in Florida I can say every 5k miles feels right with all the heat and humidity. The engine can really take a toll down here.
Also I’ve noticed tire rotations help keep things smooth on these roads.
I’ve always thought living in Florida means your car gets a bit more love than other places. I’ve found with my 11th gen Civic it’s best to stick with the recommended schedule mainly because of the heat and humidity. A quick check every 5000 miles keeps it running smooth so far.
Man when I had my Civic in Florida I did regular checks every 5k miles to keep it smooth I have seen too many cars break down here in heat so better safe than sorry ya know. Just stay on top of it.
Living in Florida I’ve noticed my 11th gen Civic gets a bit sluggish in the humidity I ve found that regular maintenance every 5k miles works well so far. The heat and salt from the ocean really takes a toll way more than I expected. Just changed my oil again last week.
I ve had my 11th gen Civic for a while and in Florida the heat really messes with things so I do maintenance every 5k miles.
I think its worth it keeps the car running smooth and helps avoid bigger issues later.
I live in Florida too and honestly I’ve had my 11th gen Civic for about a year now. I usually take it for maintenance every six months just to be safe. Makes a difference with the heat.
Tire pressure and coolant checks are key.
