How often should I change the transmission fluid in a Honda Civic 2012?

How frequently should I change the transmission fluid in my Honda Civic from 2012? Should I be doing it more often since it’s an older car? I don’t want to damage my car, but I also don’t want to pay for a service that I don’t need.

While changing your transmission fluid is an important piece of
car maintenance
, you don’t need to do it more often as your car ages. That said, you should change the transmission fluid in your Honda Civic 2012 every 90,000 miles.
For most people, that means you’ll need a transmission fluid change every six to nine years. But that number may vary for people who drive more often than others.
If you’re worried about changing your transmission fluid too rarely, have your
mechanic
check your transmission fluid when you get an oil change. That way, you can stay on top of any transmission-related problems.
