- This is a step by step video on how to change the oil on a 2013 Honda Civic EX sedan. I use a genuine Honda oil filter and Honda recommended Mobil1 full synthetic 0W-20 oil. See below for a list of tools/materials required. During the video I didn't mention this, but you need 4 quarts of oil and make sure that you check for leaks and check that you put enough oil in by pulling your dipstick.
Tools required:
- 17MM wrench
- Phillips screwdriver
- Oil Drain Pan
- Funnel
- 2 ton Jack (1.5ton should do)
- Jack Stands
- breaker bar (may be needed)
- News paper/cardboard
- Plumbers wrench (or oil filter tool) be gentle with the plumbers wrench or you run the risk of damaging your filter)
Materials needed:
- 4 Qts of Mobil1 0W-20 full synthetic Oil (6qts $27 on Amazon)
- Honda 15400-PLM-A01 Oil Filter (5 pack $34 on Amazon)
- Honda 94109-14000 Oil Drain Plug Gasket (50 pack $9 on Amazon)

Oil cap, if you don’t know where that is, i don’t think you should be changing your oil 😂😂.
Great video man really clear 👍👍
How you supposed to learn
@@CAkidTalksYou gotta crawl before you can walk.
Before you can work on a vehicle, you should know basic things such as the location of each important part of the engine, and the functions of those parts.
Just changed my oil for my R18 Civic using your video as a guide. Thank you for making this video an uploading it 👍
Great video man. Didn't know the filter was right next to the plug. Saved me tons of time. Thank you!
This is the video I was looking for, with the engine metal underplate being taken off. Thanks a lot for this.
THANK YOU!! You are really good!!! All you need is a TRIPOD to hold your phone so the images captured are easy to see!!!
Thank you again !! I'll follow you!!
Great video, thank you! Just a tid-bit for viewers' perspective, wide angle shots help in knowing where chalks go, etc. Thanks again, you did a great job!
I dont think I'm going to take my car to Honda dealership for an oil change anymore, thanks for the video bruh.
Dealerships will always charge a lot more 😔
I know this is an old video but well done my friend! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
You did a good job. I would have spent the money for a cap style metal filter wrench to remove the filter. Like other commenters the filter should go 7/8 of a turn after the gasket makes contact. Hand tight is a very subjective term. That would depend on how strong your hands and arms are as well as can you reach up in the hole to grab the filter. Instructions are on the filter. One other thing I recently found out after changing oil 40 years is once the filter starts to give a stream of oil leave it on until the stream stops. Much less mess this way. I also simply scotch tape the aluminum gasket onto the filters when I get them. Always used in pairs. The gasket is to stop galvanic corrosion between the pan and the plug. Great oil choice also.
Is Castrol 5W30 ok for this 1.8 engine ?(European model)
Can you please explain what you mean by scotch raping the aluminum gasket to the filter?
Idk why this showed up on my feed but other than this is my car and google is spying on me. I also don’t know why I watched this because I know how to change my own oil. I have to say man this is a really great informative video for anyone changing their oil for the first time. Couple of things I noticed is I always get my drain plug tight but not too tight. (I have stripped a drain plug before) for my Filter I only ever get it hand tight and one little crank with my Filter tool. With my Filter I always lube the seal and also some of the Filter with some of my old oil. Just what my friend who’s a mechanic always did so I followed suit. Just want to say this is a great video man!
I’m gonna change my girls oil in her civic thanks for the knowledge brotha .
Hah same
Same lol
Same lol
Well done. Thanks for the warning light reset info, too.
Just seeing this in 2020....but still relevant.
Thank you.
Thanks for the great tutorial! Helped me a absolute ton!
Excellent video my man.👊🏽
"I should be wearing gloves, I really should...but I'm not..."', cracked me up...lol...good video
Lol thats the first thing i was thinking when i saw the oil all over his hands. Gloves!!😆
Preferable to get a torque wrench for precision. That way you dont overtighten the oil drain bolt. 29 ft-lbs of torque for the bolt. This is stated in the owners manual.
thank you
This is very helpful! Thanks for your video 🙂
I have found that 4 quarts is the right amount only if the car is level when you drain. When I put my Civic on ramps,, more oil is drained and I need about 4 1/2 quarts to refill. The book says 4.2 quarts with new filter.
@Louis Dega The book assumes level ground. As I said, if you raise the front on ramps, you will drain more than 3.8 qts.
Thank you great video helped me out so much
I liked how you explained everything in basic terms , especially since im a girl lol
Gender doesn't matter but good to know
@@AuzzAustin Well in general I feel guys know a lot more about these things than girls. Not to say there are not any girls out there that know lol..but Im just not one of them..yet =)
Thank you. Nice presentation.
Thanks for your help im missing the metal thing in my car now i know i need one
Detailed! I likey! Also the dam filter is the hardest to get off for me that is.
Great and very helpful video, i have a idea,you make a hole on bottom of oil filter and let it drain ,avoid the the oil mess wait for oil drop done and take oil filter out.Done and clean ! Have a really nice day...
Great video here sir. Very instructional....
Thanks Louis!
Thanks so much. Plan on doing this today.
+Jan L no problem! Make sure that if you use a plumbers wrench for the filter installation you're careful not to damage it.
Bless -- mad helpful!!
Great video thanks!
thanks for the video bro
Good video, thanks bro
Thank you for this
well i never need to go get it changed i can do this myself thank you!
Thanks for this! Damn dealership want over $60?!?!
thank you, love you!
Thank you very much ✌️
Thank you Bro !
Can you give me advice on replace the splash shield surrounding the oil pan shield?
Same goes for the oil filter. You can hand tighten it as well the heat from the motor will expand the seal.
Thanks for telling people this. I'll never understand some mechanics need to torque the oil pan plug or overtighten the oil filter. You will need a breaker bar for leverage for the oil plug and maybe even some propane torch heat as well.
Dam this is 5 yr. Old but I find it very entertaining maybe it's because we like to do this stuff. Keeps us sane + my nephew has a 2012. People think were brothers or friends 😄
Thanks man
No problem.
For the new crush washer is it 24mm or 22mm outside diameter? Not sure which one to get from amazon
9:20 It's 29 pounds on the drain plug. (I'm sure that someone is wondering.)
just one question, 'cause i plan to do this while I'm working in the call center: how long will the process take?
Is 0w-20 Pennzoil Brand the way to go and use the Honda Oil Filter?
filter only needs to be hand tight

Thanks for the video! Will these instructions also work for the 2013 Civic Hybrid, or is the set up different?
I don't know much about the hybrid, but check in your owner's manual and you'll find instructions on how to change your oil and you can compare those to this video.
So I kinda squished my oil filter with the wrench when putting the new one on. It has a dent. I’m driving on it and I’m not sure if I should replace the filter or not
If it's not cracked and there's no oil under the car when sitting, it's probably fine, but I would still replace it. The best thing to do is to get an actual filter wrench (I've since done that for my cars)
I can't find skid plate for 2014 Honda Civic LX
Thanks for the video what is the oil capacity of the engine?
You'll refill 6.6qts if you're changing the oil with a filter...without a filter it'll be 6qts...but always check your owner's manual to confirm...engine oil capacity itself I believe is 6qts, but again confirm with your manual
3.9 qts only
A breaker bar to remove oil plug it's a no no.. you will either brake bolt and half will be stuck inside oil pan or stripped the threads as I have seen that ..
Where can we buy a new oil plug gasket? Do we need a certain kind? Does it need to be replaced with every oil change?
The part number is Honda 94109-14000. Google it and you’ll find both dealers and Amazon…unfortunately I’ve had bad experience with Amazon sellers sending non oem stuff and claiming it’s oem so I would just find a good dealership and grab it there or if you go with Amazon check that the seller is a dealer.
most other videos recommend pouring some new oil into the filter before installing - is that not necessary?
No Sir.
Which way to turn the oil gasket. It kinda skip from using your tool to opening it by your hand
Righty tighty lefty loosie …left to remove and right to install
Hi does this car warms up fast at winter(-10;-15)( I have 2008 civic and the heat is horrible)?
+Mirik Man I'm in Southern California where we don't have a real winter so I'm not sure, but I believe in winter you should use a higher viscosity oil which may help
theMostUNinterestingManAlive ok thank you
My screws are stripped and rusted I can’t get the metal plate off .. any advice ?
Look up a screw extractor…you should be able to get it at any hardware store, but you will need a drill…make sure to read instructions and it’ll work
filter hand tight ?? i don't think i have the filter wrench to get it out in case is too tight... this is my first oil change in this car
+Luis F. Montana don't just hand tighten it, you may end up with a leak...the oil filter tool isn't that expensive (I'll get one before my next oil change), but even a plumbers wrench (if you're gentle) works...it only needs 9ft/lb (which is not very difficult), but with oily hands etc, you may not end up tightening it enough
Please there's noise on my honda civic 2013 its loud when I accelerate . What that could be
Could be your tensioner if you hear a rattle replaced mine about a year ago.
Great video but I need to know where it's safe to use hand jack and proper placement of jack stands.
Place the lifting plate of the floor jack directly under the center of the front axle, place your jack stands on either end of the axle near the wheel mounts, raise the jack stands to equal height and *_SLOWLY_* lower the floor jack until the axle makes contact with both stands, from there you can remove the floor jack and get to work.
@@mariemacfhionghuin11 Thank you so much!
@@brobdingnagianone900 I used to do maintenance on trailers lol. Make sure whatever you're working on, in this case a car, has chocks to stop the tires on the other end, and if the object in question has a parking brake, engage that too. You want to make absolutely sure it's not going to roll off of your supports and crush you, that would be bad.
@@mariemacfhionghuin11 thanks for advice. I have worked on cars since I was 12. But car frames these days are so weak I know you have to support them in just the right spot. Gotta know the right spot for the tool to do it right.
@@brobdingnagianone900 Google might be a better source than me, I've never worked on a Honda, but it seems I'm going to have to in about a month's time
Buy a form-a-funnel for filter change. Best $25 I ever spent
Here is a tip : buy the oil filter wrench trust me it will save you a headache
Don't need it you just need it hand tightened and you're good.
underneath metal cover plate screw cant open as the screws head is damaged by the time . how can i open that four screws? I tried all screw drivers.. do you have any idea please?
If the screw is stripped, you can use a drill with a screw extractor bit like grabit which you can get at home depot or lowes or any other hardware store
The car of course will have to be high enough to fit the drill and bit under it and make sure you are extremely careful and have your jacks placed properly and your hand brake is on very tight (i usually use wheel chocks as well
You can also take a file or metal-cutting saw blade to the head of the screw and turn it into a flathead
I lost that Splash Shield Under engine plastic cover, I am getting dirty to the engine, where I can get that at cheap price for CIvic 2013 LX??? HELP.
Assuming you have the 2013 4 door automatic it's part number 74114-TR0-A00 should be around $20. I would call a few dealers to see how much you can get it for. But make sure I'm thinking the same part as you are referring to (this is ONLY the little piece that you remove to access the filter).
theMostUNinterestingManAlive I mean the whole plastic cover including the cover you removed, The thing number is 74110TR3A10, And yes it is a 4 doors automatic 2013, Thank you in Advance.
Do you know if it's the same for the 2 door coupe?
Also, for those who missed it, you WILL need a new washer(he called it a gasket) for the drain plug. DO NOT reuse the old one, it will cause problems and your oil pan will leak.
I have never once in my life had a problem with using the old washer. I've been changing oil in 5 different vehicles for 20 years. Not a single drip of oil.
@@skadarYes 100% agree with you.Have a really nice day...
No worries with the gloves
Does the skid cover take 4 bolts? Thanks
Yes 4 phillips screws that come off pretty easily
@@YehSmoshWorld buy new ones, my brother lost his taking it to jiffy lube. part# 90101-TR0-000
I thought i was crazy when i let mine go down to 20%..its ok to let it go down to 5% or it depends on how old the car is?
I forget what the computer calculates, but I changed oil on that car every 5-10K miles...it's full synthetic oil, so not as concerned about rushing to get it done when the computer says as long as I know I'm somewhere between 5 - 10K miles since the last change.
@@theMostUNinterestingManAlive oh yeh i get synthetic as well. But i dont go by what the mechanic tells me in terms of miles before i return for another oil change. Sorry to say but i go in there alone and feel theyd just take advantage. Maybe its me just being skeptical. Thats why i figured id just follow the alerts on the car
Does the oil have to be full synthetic or does it even matter
The owners manual says to use a premium grade 0w-20 detergent oil, so you don’t actually have to use full synthetic
Whatd you need those metal gaskets in the bag for...
You need to put a new gasket on your oil drain plug.
theMostUNinterestingManAlive Ah, I see that now at 9:00. Thankyou
Is the gasket required for the oil change or you just wanted to put a new one on?
It's not absolutely required if you're in a pinch and don't have one, I've changed it a few times without one, but I suggest after that always use a new one
@@theMostUNinterestingManAlive Thanks for the input. I was curious because Ive been told its mainly the oil obviously and the oil filter.
It's says 3.7 quarts of oil online for the capacity 4 quarts is over filling
3.7qt for oil change, 3.9qt for oil + filter change, and if you need to change the oil you should most definitely change the filter too
Likeable guy
Appreciate that Alain!
Anyone ever tell you, you sound like Lip Gallagher from Shameless.
Dam the screws for the panel have rusted. Cand get it out.
Grabit screw extractor...but make sure you get replacement screws first
Despite this oil change being very simple, because it uses synthetic oil it counts as a synthetic oil change at all the local mechanics, so I'm paying 80-90 dollars for what should be 30-40
i mean the oil and the filter be costing 45 on its own bro
for hood oil
Bruhh my dealer used to charge $40 for the oil change . Now charging $75. Doing my own oil now $35 😌
i just change oil today and i forgot to put the washer on the oil plug nuts =(
😂😂😂
Shit man
So much easier on the Corolla
4:00 if I knew where it was I wouldn't be watching this video you son of a bitch! 😂😂😂!!!
did you lift the car at all?
+ibinbilal Yes. Before starting I lifted the car and put it on jack stands. It makes it much easier.
get ur moneys worth. im the same way.
not cheap.
Engine must be warm to ensure all oil is drain
If you want better protection of your engine, use 0W30 oil. 0W20 reduces fuel consumption but shortens the life of the engine.
I will listen to Honda engineers over a random dude on the internet, thank you
Do you have any further explanation behind this? Any proof? I would love to preserve my engine but I want reason to trust you first lol
very nice video, informative and clear. Thank you so much!
