When is the first tire rotation notice?

I have 20% oil life expectancy on my maintenance minder so I'm pretty close to the "A" service due notice at 15%. Has there been anyone who received a tire rotation notice number with the first maintenance notice. Or, as I assume, does the first tire rotation come with the "B" or second notice?

I had mine done at 5K shortspark. :)

edited: Was not suppose to be 15K.:o

I received the tire rotation notice (1) with my first oil change notice (A). I may depend on the type of driving you do. I do lot of towing and changed oil at 5,554 with <5% showing so the oil change period was shorter than most others. Now, over 1,000 miles later and a lot less towing, I am stll at 90% oil life. If you read the Honda Service News bulletin on the Maintainance Minder tips, you will see that it is programmed to bunch services rather than have one pop up 500 after you did another service. I wouldn't be surpried that a lot of RLs have the tire rotation come up with the B notice.

I rotated my tires at 6K and again at (12.6K).

I generally ask that they do it when I get my oil changed.

Got mine with the first oil change notice at 5858 miles.

For those that did not see the good version of the maintenance minder explanation it is below. I would be suprised if anyone got the initial A maintenance code without the "1" suffix signafying tire change. The maintenance minder system shows engine oil life in the information display to let you know when it’s time to have the engine oil replaced and regular maintenance done. There’s no longer a maintenance schedule in the O/M. The system shows engine oil life as a percentage, which drops over time as the vehicle racks up miles. It starts out at 100% with fresh engine oil, and winds down to 0%, signaling the oil life is over. The system counts down oil life based on engine operating conditions (both normal and severe). If the engine runs at higher temperatures and rpm, or at low temperatures during short trips, the oil life will deplete faster than an engine running under more normal conditions. Depending on the oil life percentage, the system shows three different messages when you turn the the ignition switch to ON (II). Here’s what you could see: When the oil life reaches 15%, you’ll also see a two-part maintenance item code. This code tells you what items need servicing when you have the engine oil replaced. The first part of the code is the main code. It’s either A or B, never both. The second part of the code is the subcode. It’s numbered 1 thru 5 in vehicles without 4WD, and 1 thru 6 in vehicles with 4WD. These subcodes can show up in any combination.
Main Code What It Means
A Replace just the engine oil.
B Replace the engine oil and the oil filter, rotate the tires, inspect the front and rear brakes, check the parking brake adjustment, and
inspect several other items listed in the O/M.
Subcode What It Means
1 Rotate the tires.
2 Replace the air cleaner element, check the drive belt, and replace the dust and pollen filter.
3 Replace the transmission fluid and transfer fluid (if equipped).
4 Replace the spark plugs, replace the timing belt (if equipped), inspect the water pump, and inspect valve clearance.
5 Replace the engine coolant.
6 Replace the rear differential fluid (if equipped).


The system automatically moves up maintenance items or delays them so they get done along with engine oil replacement. For example, if tire rotation is normally done at 7,500 miles, but the oil life ends around 6,000 miles, the system will move up tire rotation. Or, if the oil life appears to be ending around 9,000 miles, the system will delay tire rotation. In either case, you would see the maintenance item code A1 in the information display.

Some scheduled maintenance items are independent of the maintenance minder system. The brake fluid should be replaced every 3 years, the idle speed should be inspected every 160,000 miles, and the valves adjusted if they’re noisy. And there are driving situations where a few maintenance items deviate from the maintenance minder system. These items are affected:
• Air filters - the air cleaner element and dust and pollen filter should be replaced every 15,000 miles if you drive the vehicle often in areas that are regularly dusty or dirty (high concentration of soot from industry or dieselpowered vehicles).
• ATF - the ATF should be replaced every 30,000 miles if you use the vehicle mostly for towing or you drive in mountainous areas. This doesn’t apply if the vehicle has ATF life monitoring. The ’06 Civic is the only vehicle that monitors ATF life at this time.
• Timing belt (if equipped) - the timing belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles if you drive the vehicle often in areas that commonly have temperatures above 110°F or below -20°F. Keep in mind, only a small percentage of vehicle owners are actually involved in these driving situations. All other vehicle owners should follow the maintenance minder system.

Thanks for the clarification
