I would guess that delaying a recommended oil change might be an issue if you later need to get free repairs done under warranty. By the way, if the MM is saying 15%, you don't have to go in for service right away; you might have another month or more before it gets below 1%.
Yes, push the issue! In a few months the warranty will have expired and the cost of any repairs will come out of your pocket. It might help to take your car to another Honda dealer.
Thank you LBP and Dance Off. Since I don't have any way of knowing whether a plated wheel cover will hold up any better, I have just ordered a set of black plastic wheel covers. If they don't last, then I will put {more} grease or protectant on the hubs and run without wheel covers...
I have snow tires on 15" wheels, and today I installed them on my 2018 sedan. The fake chrome wheel covers have totally failed after just two winters. The shiny "plating" has turned into some kind of blue green corrosion. Wiping it off with a wet rag exposes the unplated plastic and makes it...
Oh! I read his post and thought that he wanted to mount the piano in the back of his car. I imagined him driving down the road with a personal musician sitting in the back seat playing requests... :rofl:
It sounds like you need "drivesort" or something similar, as explained here:

There are other threads on CivicX that discuss the same problem.
With a regular thumb drive I had a lot of trouble. Songs would pause midway...
Since you live in a snow belt, you have more reason to buy snow tires than most people. On the other hand, lots of people get by all right with all season tires.
I bought four Honda steel wheels for my snow tires. That way the same ball seat nuts are used for summer and winter.
Anyone who goes to a shop saying, "Please install these snow tires using these nuts" will eventually be disappointed.
Let's put it this way: if you took your car to a track and drove it like a race car, you could wear out the tires, the brake pads, and maybe even the brake disks in just one day. And it would be fun. Unless you hit something, the rest of the car would probably hold up pretty well. Many of the...
Some aftermarket wheels use "conical" lug nuts vs. the OEM "ball seat" lug nuts. Considering that some mechanics don't follow instructions and that some owners don't install their own winter tires, you might want to buy wheels that use the OEM lug nuts. Also, some aftermarket wheels are not...
Driving on a railroad trestle is a dumb thing to do. Driving off a railroad trestle is also a dumb thing to do. It's a real life example of mystical Zen wisdom.
I got my snow tires installed at the dealer on Wednesday, the day of the heavy snowfall. Driving to the dealer took a lot of caution, and I had trouble starting out at each green light. Driving home on the same roads but with proper snow tires worked much better!
(I already owned the snow...
