So, I brought the civic in for an oil change today, I tend to just follow the "idiot light" when it says it wants an oil change I bring it to the dealership for one. This was the 5th oil change on the car at about 29500 miles, the last oil change was at 22895 the new civics are supposed to sense the viscosity of the oil to tell you when to get it changed. This was by far the longest between oil changes at 6600 miles and the dealership made no mention of it being late or overdue.

So, it seems eco-driving will also reduce the number of oil changes you need by not wearing out the oil as fast.

Also, I put new tires on at 22895, put them at 44psi around 25k miles, I asked the service guy to rotate the tires and when he gave me the bill, no tire rotation charge, I asked what the deal was and he said they don't rotate the tires unless there is 2/32 of wear, so, in 6600 miles I have not used 2/32 of tire while keeping them at max sidewall for most of the miles. It seems so far my car requires a reasonable amount less maintenance with some eco-driving vs. normal driving.
