I just bought my car recently and tonight while driving I noticed the maintence required indicator under the speedometer. The light was green. I dont have the owners manual and search for "maintenence" and 65k which is my rough mileage didnt turn up anything. Is this a problem or nothing at all?

 

maintenence light is just a reminder...

at 65k you should've had the timing belt and water pump replaced (at least the timing belt)

Yes, it is just a reminder for regular maintenance. However, Honda doesn't suggest replacing the timing belt/water pump until at least 90K miles. The newer cars (usually about 2000 and newer) don't need to have them replaced until 100K miles. Having it done at 65K is a waste of money (especially if you're having it done by a shop).

 

I need to get a service manual for this car, I have a Chilton for an integra but the civic one would be good as well. Any recomendation on a preffered manual? I dont much care for the chilton.

 

Helms.
