Oil Change on My $1,000 Honda Civic

[@mineralman_music]

Relaxing video good stuff

[@ashishpatel350]

try the valvoline restore and protect engine oil. should clean up some of that sludge

[@dannyrbailey]

If you do this definitely cut the next oil change interval down a bit. Just because when it does clean up some sludge or deposits, it can put more stress on the filter

[@carlovanrijk4039]

@@dannyrbailey or just get two or three cheaply filters and change those filters out throughout the interval, because I’m planning to do the same thing on my ‘12 Accord next year when I use the VR&P.

[@JosiahTanner-x6m]

for tax reasons im guessing you say its 1000

[@TrevorMuellerTV]

That’s how much I paid for the car.

[@jeretso]

What year Civic? I have the same bucket lol. For the oil plug and old filter I wear a plastic bread bag. Just throw the bag away after it gets wet.

[@TrevorMuellerTV]

It’s a 2004.

[@carlovanrijk4039]

@@TrevorMuellerTV that’s pretty impressive - 400K miles. I have a ‘12 Accord with only 135K miles, so now my goal is to get it to 400K miles! What kind of maintenace do you do on your Civic? (Obviously oil changes).

[@TrevorMuellerTV]

Oil changes, air filters, cabin air filters and trans fluid.

[@carlovanrijk4039]

@ that’s what I was thinking too! 👍🏼

[@IBO8Jaeger]

Valvoline is my Favorite when it comes to Transmission Fluid. Question, does your car really take 5W-20? My outdated brain still thinks that any 20+ year old vehicle still takes 5W-30.

[@TrevorMuellerTV]

Yes 5w-20 is what’s recommended by Honda.

[@starkeymorgan4142]

I'm assuming original engine? Amazing.

[@TrevorMuellerTV]

Yup, still rocking the original engine!

[@starkeymorgan4142]

Trans also? Awesome

[@TrevorMuellerTV]

Yes, still has the original clutch in it.

Tip: Get some gloves next time
