lol whats the different by flipping it, calculation still the same... the problem is i hardly move a kilometer in every drive and i jam like hell
i just literally sit in the car and playing with my phone for half and hour everyday for a short trip
You got your answer there. Even hybrid cars will not get good mileage if sit in bad traffic jam daily.

Yes, I am referring to the same source of maintenance table. If I compare it between the 1.5 turbo and 1.8 NA, it seems like it is more expensive to service the 1.8NA than the 1.5 turbo. That is the reason why I think the maintenance table is incomplete. I asked the salesman and my friend who juz got his 1.5TC 2 weeks ago, both of them telling me the same thing that the maintenance table is incomplete. On the service interval, the salesman did told me same thing. If the car always stuck in traffic jam, then the owner will need to service the civic earlier than the 10k interval.
Maintainance table is complete. They decoupled the cost of engine oil for calculation. Read the FAQ on the first post on how this works. Your salesman and friend dunno how to calculate maintainance cost ka?
For maintenance, you may need to go twice in 6 months e.g. 6000km need to go change engine oil (follow maintenance minder), then go again for 10k service. This situation is only for the 1.5tc engine.
There is a Malaysian owner who already hit 40K mileage on his Civic 1.5. No problems so far.
