I have a 2006 Honda Civic that I bought as a new car. The dealership told me that I wouldn't have to worry about keeping track of when to change the oil/rotate the tires because the little orange wrench would appear when I needed any car maintenance. The orange wrench came on today, but I can't make it to the Honda dealership today. How long can you put off changing the oil before it has any impact on your car? Also, I'm probably just being paranoid, but is the dealership right? Do I really not need to worry about changing the oil until my car tells me I need to?
 
yeah 90% all new cars require you to do that. you just have to read your car manual on when to change your oil and I think if the dealer said you have nothing to worry about that I think they are right. only if you bought it from Honda Dealer otherwise call your local nearest Honda Dealer and ask them. with new car they use Mobile oil and there a lot of type on which one you wanna choose. the last time I check was your car can run up to 100K miles until you need to change your oil but that also require and comes with the Car Trim level. for me I will say every 5000k or 3month which ever comes first is that time you can schedule your car for maintenance but new cars have more technology and they have improve their durability and maintenance problem so for now you are oil. you can still use your car but be sure to schedule a maintenance asap before something else happen OK. well good luck and don't worry. its a Honda You won't have a big problem with it. Trust your Honda. I own a Honda CRV. good luck.

edit: you should check your Tire and Oil level every time you fill your tank with gas along with your windshield water and coolant too. so you can be award that you car is in good condition and so you can fill them when you see the level of them drop but be sure to take your car to your Dealer or if you want to save money. just take it to your nearest Auto Zone. they have a plugging system that they plug into your car and it tell them what's wrong with your car, just like what Honda Dealer use but Auto Zone don't charge you for that. its free. so you don't have nothing to worry about this is your first time. it will go smoothly if you take action soon. good luck again.
 
and if you run out of oil or burn up engine are you going to say..the little wrench told me everything is ok?? check ALL fluids every 1000 miles and change oil/filter every 3000
