Service is always mileage or time, whichever first.
What Honda Malaysia is now weaseling, not sure if it's a global thing or just Honda Malaysia, is that the time is now based on the time of the vehicle delivery instead of the last service
Example, you collected car on January
Your 1 month first service is February
By right, second service after 6 months (or 10k km) is August
However now Honda Malaysia want you to do July.
IINM it is just the first few service only that they want you to service earlier instead of going on the normal schedules immediately
=Edit=
I understood your example
However I'll point it out anyways that it is invalid since it is 1k km or 1 month whichever first. So like my case, only 300km, after a month I'll need to service regardless of my low mileage

Ya 1k oil requested by me. That’s just my OCD , previous cars first 1k sure change.
There’s a member here few pages back, the Honda SC doesn’t want to change for him at 1k, telling him will void warranty.
but the thing is
1st 1000km or 1months is not servicing anything
it's just basic check after 1 month or 1000km after they release the car
the check is to see if there is anything loose or abnormal within that period
for me I see it as a way to say they give 5X free labour for service
with this "1st service" they only give you 4x service with change of items
the best rule is just stick to the standard listing by Honda malaysia website
no need to do extra, since its a 5 years warranty
if have problem good to have it within this 5 years
i used to think like you,
but 1000km or 1 month, it is just wasteful
there are some that say new car/engine (no specifically honda/civic)
will have special oil to help with the break in period
does honda do this?
I dunno,, but this 5 years i just be kwai kwai chai
follow to the listing exactly
not even layan the engine or fuel line cleaners
