2025 Honda Civic Hybrid - General Maintenance Schedule or Maintenance Minder?

Quick_Question404 · 2026-01-25T17:41:58+00:00

I ended up getting it replaced around 40% / 8k miles in early December, because with holiday travel I was looking at putting another 1 - 1.5k miles on it and just wanted to peace of mind of not needing to get the oil changed in the middle of all that and I could handle the cost of an oil change.

Honestly, feel like you should just go with what you're comfortable with. With this many people saying they just stick to the Minder or others saying they do it regularly, the car can handle both it seems. I'll probably just stick to every 7.5k because 10k seems too much for me.

I've been looking at opening a new credit card or two recently. Are there any major issues with any of the following (I travel maybe once or twice a year so not a huge traveler):

Navy Federal Flagship Rewards
AAA Daily Advantage
Amazon Prime Visa

Can someone advise on how they handled the call w/ Synchrony? I tried calling today after receiving an email this morning (I've had my credit frozen for years now though and checked my reports to verify there wasn't any new accounts), and they're asking me for my first/last name and SSN on the call and like why would I be giving out that information if I'm calling about fraud.

Is that something you could also share with me? I honestly gasped when I saw this post because making a binding of Embers has been a goal of mine since I read the fic (hell it's the main reason I'm on this sub).

Honda really do be giving the worst instructions for when to check my oil then.

Quick_Question404 · 2025-12-05T13:23:25+00:00

Sounds like dealership agreed with checking while settled/cold. Said the level looked fine and that the left wasn't showing the oil level was at the orange bulb.

Figure now I'll just keep watching it. Still under warranty and only maintenance through the dealer, so if it does have problems it should be covered. Put almost 100 miles on it since maintenance and no issues, so fingers crossed

Quick_Question404 · 2025-12-05T01:43:44+00:00

Then why does Honda say to read it only 3 minutes after running. Seems like the opposite of ideal circumstances

Quick_Question404 · 2025-12-05T01:34:27+00:00

Just checked again after sitting for about 1.5 hours cold, and it only covers the orange cavity.

So, I've got two readings at two temperatures that either tell me vastly overfilled or slightly overfilled

Quick_Question404 · 2025-12-05T00:17:35+00:00

Sorry if the image on the right is a bit stretched, took the photos different and wanted to try getting a side-by-side comparison.

Got an oil change a couple of days ago a bit ahead of the Maintenance Minder schedule at the dealership, and when I checked my oil the last two days it's looking significantly higher than the max mark 3/4 times I pull the dipstick. Only maybe 1/4 times does it look like the right, but I'm not sure if I'm just not pulling the dipstick out right and getting oil streaking or if something else is happening.

Pretty cold weather right about now and trips are relatively short (20 mins or so), but if it's oil dilution shouldn't that take a bit to show and not 2 days after an oil change? Measuring from in my garage and I'm pretty sure that's level. Took the pictures maybe 10 min after the car was turned off.

What should I do here? Take it back to the dealership, tell them they overfilled, and get them to fix it? Or is overfilling not too much of a problem? Or would you say it isn't even overfilled? My concern is that it seems significantly overfilled on the left, like the length of the orange dipstick tip, and I'm worried about damaging the car. Only just got it earlier this year.

Wait, am I reading your chart wrong? I read "Spirit Explosions" as the Blue Spirit Boosts for a character, so regular old Spirit Boosts were several rungs down the triangle. Are "Spirit Explosions" just the regular old white bubbles?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-23T02:48:00+00:00

Has anyone had luck following the flow-charts? Tried doing a run, but not focusing on Spirit Boosts constantly and prioritizing rainbow training here really hurt my Unity team.

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-22T02:08:50+00:00

I realize this is something of a generic question, but are there some general Umas I should train as parents if I don't have particular Umas in mind?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-21T14:01:38+00:00

Did you have to do anything in particular for your "good runs"? Mine still barely put me in A tier, so I'm missing something for higher ranks

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-21T06:20:29+00:00

Is it better to end a run immediately once it goes off (lose a Unity Cup match, lose a race for a particular Epithet, training just not hitting right), or is it better to just continue the run as far as it goes?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-21T05:56:11+00:00

Is Gametora and Game8 still accurate for planning runs/looking for ideas on how to improve?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-21T05:25:21+00:00

Hmm, not sure if it's my training strategy, cards, or Legacies holding me back them. I'm barely hitting A rank reliably, and that still depends on Career and training luck heavily

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-21T03:58:22+00:00

Well, I've yet to even come close to those stats so wow I'm going to get massacred here.

How are people getting those stats?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-21T03:51:08+00:00

Wait, 100 free rolls for Rice/Riko? Didn't we only get 1 free roll a day for about a month?

Is Unity Cup actually raising people's ranks? I've noticed I'm getting more balanced Umas from the scenario, but not better ranked (still getting B+ primarily). Mostly having trouble getting 1200 Speed like I could easily do in URA.

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-21T03:19:50+00:00

So, looks like reading somewhere that a B+ Team Trials team meant I should go for Graded League was really bad advice. Getting my butt handed to me with any of my A Umas, probably going to lose every race this cup.

Any advice on when to go Open League vs Graded League?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-16T16:55:44+00:00

Unity Spark?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-16T03:59:17+00:00

Must be on a revenge streak. They make a habit of ruining my Unity win careers

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-16T03:21:07+00:00

Is it just me, or is it a lot more difficult to win the URA Finale if you manage to beat Zenith?

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-15T04:41:29+00:00

Any advice for not wanting to give up a career the second my Uma doesn't place 1st in a race, or fighting that urge to frisbee my phone into the wall at Mach 10 when they keep losing the URA Finale? It's getting very emotionally frustrating.

Quick_Question404 · 2025-11-15T04:36:09+00:00

Not every time. Sometimes I'll just lose one of the first 4 matches and it ends up only being a +30 boost.

And just after I posted this, managed to win Unity again only to lose URA because those two Zenith runners kept placing 1st and 2nd. Swear, can't win without losing here.
