The Honda Civic's code B12 is a signal for the driver to perform maintenance tasks such as changing the oil, rotating tires, and replacing the air filter/pollen filter. The code breakdown is as follows: B stands for oil change and filter, 1 represents tire rotation, and 2 indicates air filter replacement. If these services were recently completed and you wish to clear the code, follow these steps: Start by turning the car's ignition to the first position. Hold down the reset button until the odometer flashes, then release and press and hold reset again until the flashing stops. The recommended maintenance schedule includes an oil change every 3500 miles, tire rotation at the same interval, and replacing the air filter and transmission fluid every 60,000 miles.

In a Honda Civic, the code b12 serves as a maintenance reminder, alerting you that it's almost time for your car to get serviced. This code specifically indicates that your oil life is running low and needs to be changed soon.

Some of the information is correct. It is advised to change the filters at 30,000 miles, and oil changes should not be done every 3,500 miles, as that is an outdated practice from the 1990s. The new recommendation is to have oil changes every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. The car's indicator system, such as the one from Honda which prompts oil changes at 7,500 miles, will notify you when it is time for an oil change. When the oil life reaches 20%, it is time to bring the car in for a change; however, the system does not monitor oil levels, so it is important to keep an eye on that. This is why it is suggested to follow the 6-month or 6,000-mile guideline.
