  • Almost 10000 kms and time for me to complete my first oil change on the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Edition with a manual transmission.
    Pretty easy, and I walk you through accessing the drain plug, draining the engine oil, removing the filter, replacing the oil, replacing the filter, and other things you need to know to get the job done.

    While most of the comments are busy being critical about petty stuff (if you guys don't like his brand choice, use a different brand, duh), I found this video to be pretty useful information. Looking forward to changing my own oil on my Civic Hatch now. Thanks and keep up the good work/editing.

    Been a mechanic for 40 plus years, on a turbo motor you should always fill the filter with oil. the bushings that the turbo spins on don't like to be dry even for a nano sec.
    Buick Grand nationals came in with blown torbos all the time. Better to be safe than broke down.

    don't forget to pop the hood. open the oil filler cap and pull the dip stick to help the old oil flow out better. OEM oil filter preferred. new crush washer. start civic and let run for 1 or 2 minutes to fill oil filter. Turn off and let sit for 5 minutes before checking level. Closing the hood by allowing it to drop at about 4 to 6 inches. NOT by pushing down on it. YIKES!!

    I would NEVER use that brand of filter. Worst on the market. The bypass spring is so weak some of them go right into bypass and your oil is not filtered. Stick with OEM or something like Wix, K&N, AC, Motorcraft, Mobile 1, or an old sock. Anything but that brand. Also the engine should be started before checking the oil since the filter can hold close to 0.5 liters.

    Oil will drain completely with the car level, not on two ramps. Take the oil cap off before you pull the drain plug, it helps the oil to flow out better, no gurgling or spitting oil.
    Fram used to be good but, they are crap now, NEVER USE A FRAM FILTER! I use a Mobil 1 filter, worth the money for the life of your engine.
    Oil plug only needs to be bumped tight, the jackoff at an oil swap out place will strip your threads over tightening.
    Same with your oil filter, only hand tight works fine.....
    Check your motor out for leaks before you put the pan back on, could save you a costly repair in the long run.

    i posted this on another oil change video - if you go to Amazon and invest in a 1/2 case of Honda oil filters (5-6 filters) it works out to $5 a filter. At that price there's no justification to go with FRAM orange filters - these are pure garbage - they are know to have pre-existing rust particles that will get circulated in your engine along with inferior filter media.

      It’s a crush washer, and you put a new one in when you put the drain plug back on. You can buy it at the dealer, and sometimes they include it free when you buy the filter. The filter is $7.99 where I’m from, and I was told the crush washer was $1.99, but when I bought both, they gave me the washer free for some reason. You can also find the washer online pretty cheap.

      Meh overrated. Been changing oil on my cars for 20 years and I only change them when they need it. Unless it's an actual "crush" washer I'm not waisting my time. Never have I ever had a loose drain bolt out of hundreds of oil changes, but I never forget them either. Nor do I forget to start the engine to circulate the oil, clean up spilled oil, or even get it back on level ground before checking the oil.

      @@jdm5lughatch These are "actual" crush washers on Hondas and Subarus. They're not a hollowed tube à la Nissan, but they are a soft alloy that compresses to create a tight seal. Transmission has one as well, slightly larger.

      No question about it no car oil plug is without it. a lot of cars have a crush washer some are folded copper or aluminum and some are solid aluminum but nevertheless it is still a crush washer, when taking off the oil plug look at the washer and you will notice it has been compressed because this aluminum is made extra soft to be able to crush to conform to the plug and to the oil pan, it is highly recommended to replace each time, this washer can only crush so much before it will start to have a slow leak and then it can no longer be crushed with the amount of torque that can be safely used without stripping the bolt.

      He most likely found it on the bottom of the drain when getting the used oil into the canister. That happened to me. The shape of the oil plug in Honda Civic 2017 is deciving. My previous Honda Accord 2000 had different shape of the oil plug. In his and mine case it looks like the washer is stuck on the engine. Then it falls into the oil drain. So, have to drain the oil again and filter it when filling the car. Likely I am leasing a car. So, not going to keep it after 36 months.

Why was the little plastic container used to "hand off" the oil from the large container. Just pour it straight in and look at the ruler built in the oil container to see how much you've poured in. I also like the way the creeper puts you right next to the underside. Don't think you need a creeper to change the oil. Feedback.

    Id never let this guy change my oil. Obviously NOT a car guy. Didn't fill his filter with oil before installing it. With HIS method he is "DRY RUNNING" the engine with no oil in the motor. It takes a few seconds for oil to circulate through the now dry filter and get to the motor. As anyone that has a clue knows, running a motor without lubricating oil is not a good thing, if only for a few seconds. Multiply that over how many oil changes. Poor video for teaching someone that might not know.
