New Honda Maintenance Schedules

So, how does the new Honda maintenance minder work? It gives a percentage left on oil. There are no mileage schedules on the owners manyal anymore. It tells how to reset after changing oil, but what about other items? Timing Belt, Tire rotation, etc.

Is the oil change based on engine revolutions? Time? What exactally is being monitored?

It may be better for the driver who takes it to the dealer when the light comes on, but personally I like to track the mileage, and do most of my own maintenance.

BMW bases it on revs, and uses multipliers for period of high stress such as cold engine and high RPM.

General Motors pioneered this kind of predictive monitoring and has published technical papers on it. Perhaps Honda is following suit. The GM system looks at total engine revolutions, cold starts, high temperature events and a bunch of other factors to deduce when the oil is likely to be "used up".
