First FULL Service on my New Civic // Reliability Mod

  • Taking care of your car in a proactive way is best way to do it! Instead of having to spend thousands in repairs, i think it makes more sense to spend hundreds in service. I got a quote from my local Honda dealer to fully service my car, and it came to more than $1500 after everything is all said and done. Instead of opting for that route, I bought better products, higher quality parts, extra items the dealer wasn’t including, and new tools, for much less than their quote. In this video, I go over all of the service items for my new to me 2015 Honda Civic Si.
    Feel free to take a look at the products I’ve outlined in this video. By purchasing items below, it helps my channel operate and brings more awesome content your ways. Thank you all for your generous support!! 💙

    Transmission draining 101, never open the drain until you know the fill hole is able to be open!!! If you drain the fluid first and can’t open the fill plug, your trans is stuck empty and your out of a ride until you open the bolt.

    On the civic manual transmission, the check hole above the drain plug is not a fill hole. Its a check hole. When you fill from the top and the oil starts to dribble out of that hole, it’s full. It’s a very tiny check hole and a pump hose wouldn’t even fit in it anyway.

    Milan, this is not a criticism - more like an observation and maybe a correction. Combination wrenches 🔧 have two different ends, commonly referred to as open and box end. You refer to the specific ends correctly in this and other videos. You’re calling the actual tool, however, an open end wrench, but that’s not really correct. I’d refer to these as combination wrenches to be safe and cover every use possible no matter what end is used. New tool users will then not be confused. I’m still learning all the time and you just taught me a new trick I’d never seen before - using a ratchet wrench in the open end of a combination wrench to increase both torque AND distance! Very cool! I’ve known about the other trick using two combo wrenches but this new version is even better! Thanks for all your great work!

    I prefer to use a BG power bleeder tool. It forces brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers that way. You don't lose stiffness of the brake from vacuum bleeding, and only need one hand. If deposits are in the master cylinder, you have the potential for damaging the seals by pulling the deposits through the piston and blowing out the seal. Rare, but can happen if brake fluid was not serviced regularly.

    If you can't afford a power bleeder or have an air compressor, a cheap check valve style bleeder for motorbikes works really well for a one person bleeder/brake flushing tool. Just attach it to the loosened nipple and pump the brakes a few times and top off the reservoir.

Engine had 0 issues, never burned oil, and no mechanical parts were ever replaced, not even a water pump. If you change your oil regularly you don’t have to spend more on a filter than on oil. I do 3.5k km on conventional or 5k on synthetic. Oil is cheap, engine is not. Buy oil on sale and use any filter

      @Gatman1202 Рік тому

      To the best of my research, some people offer that advice for automatic transmissions because if it is had too many miles since the last change, replacing the fluid can cause the transmission to start slipping. As the fluid gets old, it gets thicker and wears the clutch packs down faster. Changing to new, thinner fluid can cause slippage

    Wow very nice and detailed video. Great job.
    Question about cleaning and re-using the fluid pump. Let's say you're working on a RWD car (like your 370z) and have to change both trans and diff fluid. Let's say you change the the trans fluid first using the fluid transfer pump. How do you clean that pump so that there won't be any trace of trans fluid when you use it to pump differential fluid into the diff afterwards?

    • @milanmastracci
      @milanmastracci  3 роки тому +1

      So the nice thing about working with differentials and transmission is that they both use gear oils. It is almost impossible to get EVERY drop of fluid out of it should you be using 2 different fluids for your diff and trans (which I am), however it isn't the end of the world if you do slightly mix. In my Z, I am using 75W90 for the trans and 75W140 for the diff, and there was technically a bit of cross contamination, but you won't be harming any components. If you want, you can buy a separate pump for each fluid, but that may be wasted money. Just my $0.02

    My AC/Heat blew out. No air flow coming through vents at any levels. So I removed my glove compartment and found where the resistor was. I was only able to get to the top screw and realized I needed an extender to get to the bottom screw. So I tightened the top one and was going to buy an extender from the auto store but to my surprise before I left I turned the AC on it was working again. And all I did was loosened the top screw and tightened it up again. Any reason how that can suddenly make it work again? The airflow has been an intermittent issue the last few weeks. Can you make a video on how to diagnose no airflow and how to replace the necessary parts? I also read about checking the fuses under the hood in connection to no airflow.
    Keep up the good work!

    New title: Tools using Tools
    should have been the title. Disclaimer: Nice new shiny tools can still result in you busting your knuckles. You could have also saved even more dough instead of giving it to Capri like your fluid bleeding tool. You should have bought a Band Aid instead from Capri. Using terms you had to google doesn’t make you any more knowledgeable. Finally, free price of advice for future work u may do on your vehicle. Take your watch off before u end up busting that as well as your knuckles. Maybe you should buy a bunch of those magnets for the oil filter and wrap them around your body for protection next time. Also, for folks who aren’t so well versed in wrenching on vehicles maybe show them how you actually removed the bolt that u busted ur thumb on rather than showing u put a band aid on. Other than that. Entertaining video. Thanks!
