I’m ready to start doing my oil changes. Thanks for the straight forward video!
Cynthia Garcia, it’s not a hard job to do. And you can spend about 1/2 of what you would at Jiffy Lube and know you’ve done it with quality oil and filter. 😊
nice, i like how you also included the washer for oil plug into the vid. most people would skip that step.
Good video, my 2008 has reached 200,000 miles and running strong. I found that doing my own work not only saved me money but allowed me to take better care.
While there are very reputable maintenance shops, I ran into a few that did not use a crush washer, wrong screw......then informed me I needed (fill in the blank) replacement. Thanks
I haven't done it yet. He didn't say a word at all but the best instructional video I've seen
Hey man, just wanted to say thank you so much for the effective, crystal-clear instructions on doing an oil change. I have a Civic 2015 coupe and followed your instructions by the letter. Runs so smoothly now! Did my oil change (4th one I believe) at 27500 miles. I'm going to do my ATF drain and refill at 30k using your other video. Many thanks, you rock!!
Your welcome my man!
8:00 It's a good feeling when your car cranks without incident after you've been working on it. When it doesn't start, that "Oh, bleep" moment is a lonely place.
Greg Nixon yes it is the “lets see if it blows up” moment lol
Thanks for this video. I'm now an oil change pro at my home. I appreciate your videos.
So I have Honda Civic 2015 after I fid oil change I have reset my computer also ...
I did once oil changed for myself but I didn't know you need to reset the computer
Thank you for showing us
This was the most bad ass shit I seen all day
Excellent video. I liked that you loosened the oil fiiler cap and dip stick to allow better flow of the used oil.
Thanks best video I've seen for this, God bless you
I really appreciate your video it will help me with my vehicle care and maintenance great information.
Thanks again

Chino, Ca.
Esta chingon su video...good work dude!!
Excelente video amigo, gracias a ello he podido animarme a hacer el cambio del aceite yo solo y todo super, gracias nuevamente por tan valioso contenido, éxitos y saludos.
Great Video! I hate needing to remove pans and covers on lower end cars where I can't charge much for oil changes. Extra headache.
Excellent video.....quiet ...direct...and to the point. good vision through whole process....am going to change oil on my 2012 civic its at 48k miles....I think ill do transmission fluid as well since I ve had car for about a year now. Will check and see what fluid is best for tranny.......or check a vid out for it too.....
Thanks! Check out the video description for the parts and tools for the oil change.
Its 15 not 17 for the wrench
I just did my 2013 civic at 60k miles transmission oil, engine oil, filter , egr valve cleaning. It’s pretty good and easy
Aside from the splash shield, I envy you on how easy it is to access your filter. Both my V6 Accord and 4Runner and a royal P.I.N.A. But once again, great job on the video. I like your approach to doing your videos. Keep up the good work and subs and view count will start rising faster than you can imagine. I do however suggest if you haven't already, to create a Twitter account for your channel. Follow other channels that are similar in subject and every time you upload a video it will send a notification out to your Twitter as well. Just another route to get your channel out there.
+BuddyLe3 Thanks man.
Thank you Really useful!!!
Thanks , looked very professional
By far the best video on this!
Thanks!
Great video, just what I needed to do this myself. Thank you for posting!
Your welcome!
Which oil better the extended or the regular Mobil 1 synthetic 0-20?
Your engine will not know the difference. Difference is Extended is for those that do a lot of highway driving.
good job prime the filter, but only if it is mounted bottom up.
Honestly you don’t need to even prime it. Just lube up the seal.
Wow 😮 I thought it was hard you made it easy I’m going to try it this weekend 7/13/19
Sweet vid dude, going to do the same soon, thanks
Thank you!
excellent video my brother thanks
Thanks for the info. So it's 4 quarts?
Yes. 3.9 quarts to be exact but 4 quarts is okay.
Honda recommends that you do NOT pre fill the new oil filter! And if you must I'd suggest filling it with new oil on the smaller outside holes on the filter, it will take longer, but it's the right way. Btw, great video, and most manufactures recommend not pre-filling filters!
David Lyons That’s one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. If you already know how to change oil why come here and look at this video? Make your own video. You SHOULD fill if your oil filter is oriented to do so FILL the oil filter. You don’t want to have a DRY startup. Did you also read that you check for the old filters gasket?
Link me to any manufacturer ever saying don't prefill the filter. You won't be able to because none have said that. The only reference I can find is someone mentioning Chrysler had a caution to make sure you don't drop bits of foil from the oil jug lid into the filter. Well duh. And BTW you're pouring unfiltered oil all over your valvetrain when you fill the engine up.
Can you please specify the line from the user manual to show this statement is true? I doubt whether it is, cause never heard something so irrational in my life, when you pre fill your filter with brand new CLEAN oil you just prevent the engine from running without oil for some seconds which is good!.
it's key to use a rug , even better if it's from Turkey... =)
Haha! You're right.
MrRangerZr1 What was the size of you’re socket to remove the plug
@@joseochoa7043 - 17mm
This was so helpful! Thanks alot !!
Your welcome!
Love this video
Can you permanently remove the splash shield without any issues?
I wouldn't remove it. You'll cause unwanted turbulence underneath the car.
Excellent video thanks
Hey, thanks so much for the video! How often do you change your oil? Do you wait for the maintenance minder to tell you? Do you have a personal threshold as to how often you change it? I'm @ 30% now, going to change it soon just because I have car anxiety..and why not!?
Once again, thanks so much for the video!
Hey! Change the oil when the car tells you. (maintenance light reminder)
Nice video! i have a 2013 Civic and I've put 5000 miles since I bought it from the dealer, oil life shows to be at 50% but hasn't budged even after a 400 mile roadtrip.. I think the screws that hold that damn plate on are rusted too and I cant get them off.
Spray some PB blaster on those bolts. Let the oil light come on and change the oil then, modern cars can go 7,500+ miles between oil changes.
MrRangerZr1 for real? I just got a 2015 and they told me every 5k miles and I already put 5 k within a month and a half because I drive a ton
Thanks for video.
Awesome video. Thank you. F JIFFY LUBE AND THE COUPONS !!!😁
Jiffy lubes uses recycled oil too, I change mines own....
Need help. Just changed my oil on my 2015 honda civic ex. I change it every 5k miles no matter what since I don't drive much. Last oil change I used the 20k mobil 1 filter and mobil 1 advanced fuel economy oil. I reused the filter since it was only used for 5k miles but left it upside down and wiped it clean on the outside before reusing it. Filled it again with freshmobile 1 advanced fuel economy. Anything I should worry about? Should I have not reused the same filter even if it didn't reach its full potential?
You should of just changed the filter. Whats the point of doing that. Engines are expensive but oil/oil filters are cheap. Don't skimp out on oil and oil filters, they are the "blood" of your engine.
@@MrRangerZr1 well I stocked up on oil from Costco so Ima do it again cuz i got enough for one more and I'll buy a new filter. Thanks for the response man. Your videos have saved me money to not take it in and get ripped off at a shop. One more question, what is your opinion on k&n engine and cabin filters?
BS. Don't waste your money. I tossed all of my K&N filters.
@@MrRangerZr1 right on thanks man

It seems like you can use the same procedure on the 2016 and up.
Yes its identical
I’ve noticed that other videos don’t add the oil to the filter but you did. What’s the right way to do it ?
Both are correct. I stopped doing it since I got lazy lol no problems installing it dry. You still must oil the gasket.
what brand oil filter did u use ? also is that a full synthetic mobil or a synthetic blend? i was going to use honda genuine i guess ill go mobil 1
Bosch D3323 oil filter and Mobil 1 full synthetic extended mileage. (not high mileage)
I put the hole bottle is that ok?
No. Takes less than 4 quarts not 5 quarts.
My filter is a S6607XL maybe that’s why I need the 5qt?
Hi MrRangerZr1 ! Nice job! Could you tell me what does it mean, when it smells petrol from oil dipstick? Regards!
Could be a faulty injector.
Do i need to buy that washer? Or will my car already have that.
You need to replace it every time you change the oil
Good Job 👍
Thank you for the videos Sr, I made the oil changed but I have a cuestion, what is torque for the bolt?
30 lbf.ft of torque or 1/4 turn after snug.
@@MrRangerZr1 thank you Sr
Curious does all the oil flow out on a incline ramp?
No but most of it
how many quarts did you add?
4 quarts sorry for the late response
Honda 2012 is at 127k miles. What oil do I buy? Sorry my first time doing this and I’m kind of excited
Everything is listed in the description :)
MrRangerZr1 click the link and many came up, not sure which one to check out?
Oh ok. Valvoline or mobil one is what I used.
Any tips on taking the filter out ? My is kinda stuck ?
Get a good grib with a oil filter wrench and pull like mad. Make sure you're pulling the right direction.
those darn screws for the splash panel are impossible to remove! How did you do it so easily?
Don't overtighten them. If it's really hard to remove, put the car on a lift and remove the screws. That will lessen the chance of stripping them. Doing it on ramps or jack stands is hard.
MrRangerZr1 I was using a pit. I bought this car just a few months ago from Honda, all of its previous service was at Honda so I guess they over tightened those screws. I couldn't get them off; I'll have to pay a shop to do it. They are on so tight they will probably have to grind or drill them off. I'm going to try complaining to Honda first, this is a one owner car leased from Honda since new so it is obvious to me where the fault lies. Very disappointing, it would have been an easy job otherwise!
How do you keep your engine bay so clean?
I clean it often. I don't wait till it's dirty to clean. Same goes for the whole car, clean it once a month or more, takes 15-20 mins max. If you wait for it to get dirty, you will spend 2-3 hours cleaning it.
How many quarts of fluid do you need for a transmission drain and fill?
Video is on my channel.
What’s the best way to dispose of the old oil afterward?
Auto parts stores generally take them
@@MrRangerZr1 Thank you!
damn 22 mpg u drive hard lol
Yep lol
Got 2014 civic what type of oil should I used
Full synthetic 0W-20
nice video
Thanks
What size screw driver thing? 12x4 it says???
Any screwdriver should work
22.3 miles per gallon? Something wrong with this mpg 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
That's the driver behind the wheel lol
do i need to replace the filter every time i change the oil in my car? Thanks :)
Yes
@@nickv4073 Why would you if the owner's manual says not to? The previous generation of Civics recommend oil filter replacement every other oil change. The manual does not explain why, but filtration performance improves with filter life so unnecessarily changing it more often could result in dirtier oil.
so you didn't put all the rest of the five quarts right? or was there enough in the filter to put all of it
No you have to put 4 quarts in the engine.
So you're left with a quart? What if that's the only bottle you have where do you put the dirty oil?
Yes you're left with a quart. You would have to arrange something to put the dirty oil somewhere, they sell containers for dirty oil or grab a empty milk gallon or similar and pour it in there.
perfect thanks man!
No problem! Let me know if you need more info.
do these cars take synth or conv oil?
Synthetic.
I am getting 37+ mpg using Royal Purple oil.
Whats your oil change interval?
I use the mobil1 oil and it's filter. The maintenance minder light comes on around 10K miles (15%). I change the oil and filter around then. I get 45-50 mpg on highway but I drive light footed and between 60-65 mph. My average is 40mpg since I barely have any city traffic commute.
@@MrRangerZr1 I have a question, I had a 'tighten fuel cap' error all day yesterday and starting today I've 'check emission system'. What could it be?
Honda civic lx 2013
99,500 miles
yo, do u have trouble keeping ur car straight on the freeways? I'm asking cuz my 15 civic ex is all over the road and hard to keep straight. especially on roads that got grooves like this....llllllllllllllllllllllll
Check your suspension and tires.
will do...thanks for the tip!
Alignment suspension tires
Is it 1.8 engine?
Yes
good stuff, my dude..!
When i cheng engine oil honda civic 2015
The car will tell you when it's time
Mad work
Is it okay to use STP full synthetic motor oil ?
As long as its 0w20 and has the government certification sticker, sure. I use whatever is on sale at walmart or amazon.
MrRangerZr1 thank you. This video was very helpful as are all your other Honda Civic videos.
is there a risk if i switch from regular to full synthetic oil? the guy from my local auto part store said that it could cause a leak because i been it has a different type of viscosity...... i have a 2012 exl coupe 1.8L 0w20 and has 66k kms
Hmm...tough to tell. Try it out, you're suppose to be using full synthetic from the beginning.
MrRangerZr1 yea im the 3rd owner and the first two only used regular. i used synthetic for my 06 charger before and it was fine
Try it out. If it leaks then go back if not keep on using it. Make sure you look for leaks often, don't forget about it and then its going to get all over the engine bay. ask me how I know lol
MrRangerZr1 would i notice the leak right away or would it take some time? its basically a 50/50situation lol but i think ill give it a try and would bring a regular oil with me just in case
It won't leak all 4 quarts in a day or week, you will see oil leaking from various seals and you might see an increase amount of oil consumption. Try it and see if it leaks, if it does then step down to synthetic blend, if it still leaks then just stick to conventional.
Is it ok i used semi synthetic engine oil for my 1.8 civic 2014
Full synthetic is best and is highly recommended.
Full synthetic gulf brand is it ok
Never heard of that brand. If it has SAE certification on the bottle it's safe.
🙏 thank you
What size wrench
17mm. I show it in the video,
Are drain plug washers necesarry?
Yes
MrRangerZr1 i used the same one
Change it next time. Cheap insurance. 10 bucks for 50 washers.
Get from ebay. 10 for $2.50. Suppose to use a new one every time. Deal charges $4.50 each.
What if I put 5 quarts ?
You'll ruin the motor
I added 5quarts of oil to my 2015 civic only because the dip stick was not fully showing that it had oil- after the 5quarts it reads perfectly to the full line, will doing this really ruin the motor?
My oil was also fully drained from the car, I let it drip for about 20-30 minutes @mrrangerzr1
I decided after watching this that I'm going to buy a Tesla lol.
Why is that?
MrRangerZr1 it was partly a joke cuz of how much work this looked like to someone like me who knows nothing about cars lol.
lol don't worry it's not difficult at all.
Lmao, watch a bmw oil change
Road to the 2 Comma Club trust me Honda’s are easy af to oil change
