Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2018 Honda Civic in New York, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “brake fluid is old but still looks,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2018 Honda Civic before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

I parked the 2018 Honda Civic and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2018 Honda Civic before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. Any freeze-frame data saved? This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2018 Honda Civic owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
