This is my first thread.<\/p>\n<p>I own a Apr-2009 Honda City 1.5 S-MT. Since the car is more than 6 months old, free services are over now. Honda has a strange servicing cycle. <br \/>\n1st service  on 1 month\/1k Km <br \/>\n2nd Service on 3 Months\/5K Km<br \/>\n3rd Service on 6 Months\/10K km :Frustrati<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure about this but how exponentially is the km&#8217;s growing? I mean 10K in 6 months then why would a sensible guy go for a petrol vehicle. I also own Swift VDi bought around the same time but it has 3rd Service on a year\/10k Km.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway this argument apart, now I was due for paid service and I got call from honda dealer just 3 months later that my car servicing is due. I was astonished, I confirmed  that my car was serviced just 3 months back and since I have not much of running It does not make sense. But the dealer representative insisted that is mandatory to maintain service intervals. But 3 months service interval sounds ridiculous to me. I called up Honda one2one and confirmed this. Honda representative confirmed that yes for vehicles in Mumbai(metro city) 3 months and for non metro vehicle  6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what when I reached dealership, he mentioned oil change for car, i reminded him that it has been changed in last service, to which he mentioned that oil change is needed every service :Shockked: ? I resisted and asked him to check how many km&#8217;s have I covered since my last service, on checking records it came out to be less than 1k kms, meaning oil to be used only for 1k? I resisted and said no to oil change, just service.<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to confirm from Honda owners is that you also having service intervals of 3 months? Is it worth?<\/p>\n<p>PS: I had  to anyways visit the Honda service center as srs airbag lights were continuously on even on ignition,  on inspection at service center, it came out to be a rat menace. Entire wiring harness needs to be changed cost approx 6.5K<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading through : Bhpians, please advice on service intervals query<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi All, First of all thanks to Team-Bhp for letting me into the forum.
