I'm looking for the maintenance schedule of a 2012 Accord Sedan. I know it has a maintenance reminder on the dash. However, I often reset the reminder earlier because I change my oil before the required time. Hence, I don't see the reminder codes.

When do you change transmission fluid?

When do you change timing belt?

Is there a place I can find the recommended miles? Thanks!
 
ATF's usually 30K. I do it around 15K , just because.
TBelts was previously 7 years / 105K miles. 8th gen owners manual doesn't state mileage on the tbelt. Only the MM will tell you when to change the tbelt.
I had mine changed at 88K due to the timing tensioner leaking. To play it safe and if you have the cash , do it at 105K.

If you still have the owners manual , they're printed on there.
 
You're asking the interweb to produce something that doesn't exist. And you will predictably get a wide variety of people's opinions on what you should do.

And you haven't told us what kind of 2012 Accord. V6 or I4? One has a timing belt, the other does not.

Unless there is a good reason to change your oil early and reset the MM early, why don't you just follow the MM?

Honda has made tracking maintenance items so incredibly easy. And it's baffling to me how people want to take something this easy and make it hard.

When you reset the maintenance minder you can't help but see the codes. They even blink. Those are the only codes you are resetting. So resetting your A1,2 or B1or 2 codes early doesn't effect the longer 3, 4, or 5 codes that call for things like trans fluid and timing belt. And the codes can be easily brought up before the 15% trigger to see what's upcoming. So if you want to use the maintenance monitor you still can.

If you prefer to use intervals you should pull up an owners manual online for a 2005 Accord for the last time that Honda provided a maintenance schedule for an Accord. Seems pretty out of date but it should work fine.
