Brings back memories of old civic i ran the wheels off back in the day driving to work in chicago from indiana. Was so reliable even ran itself to the crusher!

What a wonderful tutorial, thank you. My civic EX is due for an oil change and I have very little experience when it comes to working on cars. Thanks to you, I have been armed with the knowledge to work on the car properly.
I just did this on my Honda Civic I was so scared to get underneath because I heard of a lot of people dying under their cars. Good thing I follow your steps and put on my AirPods and forgot about me being under and got the oil change done ✅
Thanks for the great video. I have a similar Honda EK which i love, but one pet peeve i have: water from wipers drains right over the fuse box via that little channel visible at 16:18 mark near your hat/glasses. I know it's covered and all that, but still!
Dave a good video. Most important you must have the coffee while waiting for the oil to drain. Hope all is good with you and family. Changed front motor mount with A1 aftermarket a year ago just put in an OEM. Aftermarket stopped holding vacuum. It was junk. OEM costs more but you only change it once.also went with OEM radiator hoses and thermostat from Honda parts now and also PGMFI relay. Just staying busy under lockdown. Hope all is good Artie. Also bought the long serpentine belt tool from your account. Now to look and by more. Dave take care. ❤️
Hey Big Dog, I have heard in the past that you always want to fill the oil filter with oil prior to screwing it on. Not sure what the reasoning behind that is but I've always done it that way. I'm guessing you don't think that's necessary or you would do it. Any opinion on if that's not a good idea or unnecessary?
My Dad was a pro- mechanic and serious 50-60's motorhead, and taught me that as well. After an oil change the top-end is running without oil flow for a short amount of time, probably a second or two if that while if flows through the system and filter purging air. Not sure it really matters as much on a normal oil change where the engine was just running and lubed up already, and as we have better oils. This might have been more prevelent when one was re-building an engine, or if an engine had been sitting unused for extended period of time, unknown provinence of engine, etc.. I think old-timers might have spun the crank to get the air out and oil in as well. Also remember being told they would solve carbon buildup by running kerosene until exhaust got red hot.
With the honda 1.6 motor you can add a small amount to the filter but not too much or it will spill out due to the horizontal orientation of the filter.
Good morning I have a question regarding my A/C in my 2007 Honda civic LX. I live in Florida and when I use my A/C sometimes in comes on and sometimes it doesn't. What could be the problem?
I have a 1996 civic, very high idle when it's hot out, cleaned all the parts to the throttle body, and checked for air leaks.. anything else I can do to fix this.?? thanx.. also I replaced the whole throttle body.
Idle on those older Civics is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) through the Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve, with input from various sensors including the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. The ECM adjusts the idle based on engine temperature (among other things). I would make sure the ECT is reporting correct temperature readings to engine computer (especially when hot) and I would probably make sure the IAT is also working properly too. The vehicle may have set some trouble codes like a P1508 or P0505.
I don't worry too much about the brand. The most important thing is to actually have oil inside the engine. More engines are blown up by not having oil in them than the name on the bottle. Thanks for the input!
I showed actual service info from Honda on the proper lift points for this car. That being said, damage (or injury) can occur if lifting incorrectly or if the car has become structurally unsound due to rust or damage.

Thanks for the comment 👍!
I like how you show us the correct way to do things. This theme runs through all your videos. Good times.
I try! Thanks for the comment RR!

I have done oil change in Hondas numerous times, still nice to watch this video. Great video for beginners.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the video. I sent it to my son as he has a 2000 Honda civic and he will be changing the oil by himself. Your video will help very much.

Good tip on the difference between the crush washer sides.
Thanks 👍

Love your videos man (especially the 8th gen civic) very straight to the point but with all the important details nice!
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!

whoever designed the oil filter placement needs to get taken out back
Nice video. Right to the point and clearly demonstrated. No obnoxious distracting music. Thank you thank you.
I currently have a 2015 Civic. Love Hondas! 🙌
👍
Saw them new red Pittsburg jack stands in 6 ton and 12 ton today they are very nice👌defenitly better built over the older grey ones
Thank you big dog, so helpful , i had a honda civic with that engine.
👍
Thanks for putting links to all the parts below
No problem 👍!
Good thorough oil change video
👍
Thanks so much Big Dog! I learned at least two or three important details about oil changes on the Civic.👌
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
The intro alone earned the like
👍
this is a huge help full of important infos🙏
Thanks 👍!
What oil do I need to use on my f23a7 Honda engine I did call the dealership but was waiting for a call back
Your civic has the same big dent (same spot) on the left side as my 99 Civic. I subscribed just because we have the same year and same color of Civic.
Certainly there must be a way to remove that unfortunately located and positioned oil filter with less oily mess, yes?
Great to have the part numbers! thank you!. is there no need to put the car down to drain completely?
God bless to you dad, It's help me a lot❤️

Nothing wrong with doing that but on this design you will most likely spill most of it out when installing it.
With the honda 1.6 motor you can add a small amount to the filter but not too much or it will spill out due to the horizontal orientation of the filter.
@@kevinmiller4486 Yeah I always fill any filter and alow the material to absorb it then add a little more.
Great Video!

Coffee counted as a tool for the job. Automatic like 💪🏾 Don’t talk to me about ANY work before my coffee

Hello. What engine oil is 6gen Civic D14Z2 for? 10w40 or 5w30
How do you like the Quaker State oil? I been using Royal Purple for years and want to try a different oil for my next interval.
No issues, I use that and Pennzoil pretty much exclusively.
@@BigDog50001 Nice. I just did an oil change using Quaker Full Syn. Very affordable price point plus it's a SOPUS product along with Pennzoil.
Hola desde España,muy profesional, mejor que los servicios técnicos de honda, impresionante
Where did you get the cars manual.in your computer? Any link?
What's your opinion on none synthetic oil.. and change intervals. Thanks
Good ole oil change👍
👍

Great 👍🏻 thank you 🙏

Hello can you share me the PDF 13:31
Doing an oil change on a 19 civic is easier because of the filter placement honda has really gotten better and i miss my 98 civic
👍
Did he do the timing /water pump when he purchased it?
Thanks for the video. Just want to know often should I change oil and filters?
I don't like to go more than 4,000 miles on older cars like these Civics. Thanks for the comment!
A Huevo! first coffee 👍, no coffee no works. Thanks
👍
this original filter?
Great video bad oil

Thank you Master!

Thats how an intro should be. Get right to it!
What size was the oil pan washer?
Honda oil drain plug washers are 14MM (P/N 94109-14000).
Tried to lift there and bent the front bumper
I showed actual service info from Honda on the proper lift points for this car. That being said, damage (or injury) can occur if lifting incorrectly or if the car has become structurally unsound due to rust or damage.
Sounds like the AC compressor bearing is shot.
Such a simple, basic engine but with the filter in a bad spot. Throw away the fram.
👍👍
Thanks Jonathan!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I think his car needs more than oil change
Just needs a budget paint job
Paint/body is not in very good shape (paint is typical for desert), running wise the car is in very good working order.
