This is a standard maintenance schedule for all the Honda Accord models from 2014. The new Honda Accord comes with Maintenance Minder. Maintenance Minder is a system that reminds the owners when to replace the engine oil, oil filter, as well as brake pad. However, it doesn’t remind the owner if there is a need to replace spark plug, spark plug wires, brake fluid, service the cooling system, and some other wear and tear items. Therefore, this basic car maintenance schedule will still be useful for any 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, or newer Accord models such as the Honda Accord Hybrid or the Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid.

Nowadays, most of the Honda Accord owners rely on the Maintenance Minder system for car maintenance schedule. The on-board computer that monitors the vehicle from time to time tells the owner what to do with the car. When the computer determines the car has reached 15% remaining oil life, it means you have to plan to take your vehicle to the local Honda Dealer for service. On the other hand, it means it is a must to service the car now if it shows 5%. The service is overdue if the Maintenance Minder system shows 0%.
