If your engine was to be damaged due to lack of oil then Honda would not take any blame for it no matter if the light came on or not.

Its a simple 1 min job to check your oil level and only needs to be done say once a month.

If I had a leak than that would be a fault with the car, if the oil light doesn't come on then again that would be a fault with the car, the oil warning light is there for a reason.

I only do between 5 - 7000 miles a year if that, as I said before I have been driving for 24 years and have never had to top up my oil, I have already done it once in the civic cos the oil light did came on.
