  • The Honda Civic VI 1.8 VTi shows a capacity split based on steering configuration: left-hand drive variants hold 1 liter, while right-hand drive variants hold 0.9 liter.
  • The 0.1 liter difference between the 1.8 VTi left-hand and right-hand drive configurations reflects the differing routing and reservoir placement of the power steering lines on each layout.
  • No check interval is listed in the 1.8 VTi specifications, whereas the 1.4i carries an explicit 10,000 km or 12-month interval, representing a variation in documented service detail between the two engine variants.
