I bought a silicone cup from OXO on Amazon for $10 for removing small oil filters like this to try to keep it from spilling everywhere. Once you crack open the filter, put the cup on under it and use it as a grip to let the oil drain down the sides of the filter, and then remove the whole thing. Honestly one of the biggest pains with changing oil at home is the clean up and disposal, so between that trick and using a Fumoto valve, I’ve managed to almost have a mess-free and clean oil change system at home.
@@juelz4516 silicone cup makes it easy to grab and spin out the filter without a mess because you can squeeze it. Makes pouring out the oil much easier too. Fast to clean off and doesn’t degrade or get eaten through. Im always looking for tools to improve efficiency and cleanliness when working on my car at home. Tens of thousands of people spend $40 on the oil udder but the cup is $10 spent that makes my oil changes easier, not sure what the big deal is lol
I haven’t noticed any oil dilution. My old oil seemed normal. If I was to run full E85 then I’d probably change my oil a lot sooner. Running regular pump gas, I don’t see why you’d have that issue.
@@sk8terdude013 The dealership and I kept emailing back and forth and the last offer for a 2023 Civic ex cvt was MSRP +$500, they started at +$7000. I`m looking to buy in summer but was just feeling out the market...
I have upgraded the motor Mount. Currently a test car for PRL’s motor Mount. Release on this Mount should be coming soon and I’ll be sure to make a video for you guys. All I can say is that testing this thing out has been a huge improvement compared to other companies I’ve used such as hasport.
@@Madrid-ee8qf they use a different material for the busing to minimize vibrations inside the cabin while maintaining the benefits of a stiffer mount. It makes a huge difference. As I’m sure you’ve felt with the 27Won motor mount, the engine flex has minimized and has put a lot more power to the ground.
I went ahead and did mine at 6500 miles and the maintenance reminder still said I had 40% oil life. I believe Honda goes by 6 month intervals in their maintenance. Or at least that’s what the dealerships out here do. I do mine every 6 months or 7500 miles but I make sure to run full synthetic
I did mine at 1,000 but that’s what I do with all my new cars. Heres my schedule: 1st oil change at 1,000, 2nd oil change @ 4,000 then I do ever 5,000 after that will amsoil. I want to get all that fine metal and assembly crud out of the system. Cut open your oil filter and you will be amazed. I’ve had great success with this method however each there own..
@@NoNoRc looking back on it, that’s what I would’ve done. But the Honda salesman told me to do it when the oil-life monitor got down to 15%. Make me wonder how much metal shavings were flowing around in there. BUT…I’ve got 160K miles on a ‘16 Civic EX - took the valve cover off, and that baby was clean! No sludge, varnish, or deposits
Where’d you get the new washer for the bolt? Any Amazon link?
what trim civic is this??? and how do I reset the dash light?

What fumoto valve did you purchase? The website mentions it might now fit correctly
You really need a “special cup” for that? Lol. Ppl will buy anything.

Hey man, I’m about to pick a 23 civic ex-L in December. Any issues with oil dilution with the 1.5?

Did you buy the 1.5? I got quoted selling for msrp+7000?
@@xbrizzcakez I got the sport touring model so yes. It was 37k OTD before a trade in. 32k msrp

BTW any reason why you haven't upgrade the rear motor mount? Using the one from 27won

@@lui.racing I did notice is a PRL any difference with the 27 won? If you are allow to tell of course. Thanks

@@lui.racing If vibrations are less with the PRL I will definitely upgrade from my 27won. Thanks for Sharing
At what miles you did the first change? Very confuse at the honda recommendation for this? Mine currently have 3500miles on it. Cheers

Great video bro
Thanks bro! Appreciate the support!
He made a DIY video and used a vise grip to get the filter off 😂😂😂. Buy the correct tools dude.

Its not like you are re using the filter bro, doesn'
t matter
80% of this video is about your face😅

@@lui.racingit means you filmed your face the whole time instead of the car!
