Hi, on my 08 EX-L there is the maintenance minder. Does this also space out the transmission fluid and differential fluid and air filter change intervals based on driving habits like the oil change indicator does? Or does it call for the different services based purely on mileage? Thanks alot.

yes.
MMS will tell you everything when it needs to be serviced. if you flip open your owner's manual, towards the back i think - there is a list of letters (A,B,C,etc.) there and it tells you what items need to be serviced when a letter appears.

Thanks, but was the yes response to "driving habits based" or "mileage based" intervals?

i know it is based on driving habits... but i think it's also partly based on mileage.

my MMS drops 10% for every 1000 kms. - give or take a few kms.
i also noticed it drops faster if i drive the car hard.

some owners on this board who drive very little (weekend driving only) are reporting that their MMS are not lighting even after close to 1 year of driving.

For the best description of MMI I have seen, read Honda Tech's explanation:
