The Best Civic Type R Oil Change Guide (FK8 10th Gen 2017-2021)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- This amazing FK8 Civic Type R will never be made again. It's being replaced by the new 2023 Civtegra and while I'm sure it's better on paper, come on, the 2017 to 2021 10th generation Civic Type R is just so ridiculously over the top that it's amazing.
I have the pleasure to work on and drive this beautifully blue version and I want to share with you how I changed the oil on the FK8 Type R. This is a DIY guide video to show you how to lift the car, remove the underbody panel, drain the oil, remove and replace the filter, and fill the oil. All of the fluid capacities, requirements and specifications are further below.

How to Brake Bleed the FK8 Honda Civic Type R: ua-cam.com/video/nB7qYUIv6X4/v-deo.html Your likes and subscribes really help out this channel, thank you!
Just purchased a 17 FK8 with 30k miles and a 110k mile warranty that’ll cover pretty much everything besides rim damage oil changes and brakes. Great video. Gave me confidence on maintaining the car on my own.
Thank you for the comment and congrats on your purchase! This car is really great and I think looks better than the latest model. Feel free to check back in when you start doing your own DIY maintenance.
I love the color of the car!❤
Great video 💪🏻
Thanks for this video!
That car's owner must be like the coolest guy ever.
Look at me!
Thanks for this video!
Good video, please don't give up and more repairs or maintenance for Type-R 😊
I appreciate the kind words and I'll see about getting some more Type R content. Thank you as well for subscribing, it really helps me out! www.youtube.com/@mldiy?sub_confirmation=1
Great video, if i do say so myself!
Very good video and beautiful car 🥰😍
You are very welcome, thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing (and if you didn't, that's okay too). 🙏
Awesome video! Can you do front and rear brake pads/rotors on the type R next?
Let me see what I can do! Thanks for watching and for your comments too.
Thanks!
You are welcome, I hope the video helped you out. 👍
Why I’m I having trouble getting the skid plate back on the flat head turns but only when the skid plate is off.
Try pinching the metal clips the screw goes into together some. Just a guess based on what you said but the screws are pretty short and once the cover is there, it's now not reaching the back of the clip where it fastens. Let me know if that works or share more info and I'll see if I can help more.
Hey man. Did my engine oil and oil filter changed today. And putted 5.4L in the car and why the dip stick shows the oil level over fill??? Oil level should be between that two little holes. Also there was 5L old oil from the car I have poured back to the 5L bottle.
Hi Shen. The oil capacity is for sure 5.7 quarts (5.4L) but there's a couple things to consider. If you drained your oil right after shutting it down and put the drain bolt back on right away, there's still a decent amount of oil in the head and block. That oil takes 30 minutes or more to work its way back down to the oil pan. Also, did you start the car after filling the oil so that oil circulated through the oil filter? And did you let the oil settle before checking the dipstick?
How much oil that came out from draining is telling too. Either you didn't let it fully drain so you only get 5L out, or you are burning oil--which the k20 engine does have a history of doing (it was notoriously bad in the RSX).
Please also keep in mind, in my video, I only fill 5 quarts before cycling the oil and checking the dipstick. I (and many others) do this to ensure we don't overfill on oil. There's always something you can do to verify along the way instead of blindly trusting a guy on the internet.
I recommend you check your oil again when the engine is cold to see what your oil level. Best of luck on your future DIYs.
Can we use 0w30 instead 0w20? Because sometimes we drive a bit more aggressively.
Hi Shen, modern engines are fine with thinner oils because the clearances on the rings and bearings are so much tighter than back in the day. A higher viscosity is just going to make your engine work harder and impact your fuel economy. Unless you're redline all day long in like desert heat, it's likely that your sportier driving is well within spec for 0w-20. That all said, 0w-30 is an acceptable weight based on the manual--but you can check yours just in case I'm wrong. I hope this helps and if so, please consider subscribing.

Mishimoto oil catch can no longer available 😢
I still see it available from the link in my description: amzn.to/3KKoslv Where are you trying to find it?
Does all type r need the catch can ? That’s alot of oil
The short answer is it's not necessary, but it doesn't hurt especially if you are tracking the car. With direct injected cars, the droplets of oil that end up getting spit into the intake stream from the PCV could potentially build up over time. Before with indirect injection, the fuel would end up cleaning the manifold and valves on the way in, so a little oil blowby didn't matter as much.
So the catch can I think is only 2 or 3 oz. It's not that much oil even if it looked that way in the video and it was a thousand miles or so since the last oil change. Most of that oil would get sucked back into the pistons and only some of it would stay in the manifold. Keep in mind that catchcans also don't catch 100% of the oil, so it's just further extending the potential long term problems--if any at all.
If you do buy one, click on the link in the description to help support the channel. 👍 Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank man
weak oil for this engine.. and by that I don't mean viscosity
Happy to learn from you if you are willing to share your knowledge. What do you use and do you have different recommendations for track vs daily?
@@mldiyas per manual "sae 0-20". Castrol meets the specs. People go crazy with oil for some reason.
Ja , der blaue Einfüllstutzen ist voll gruselig . Es gibt viel perfektere Lösungen . Z.B. ein Einfüllstutzen , der sich wie der Deckel aufschrauben lässt . So geht nichts daneben .
Danke für den Kommentar. Ich stimme voll und ganz zu, dass der Füller mit langem Hals nicht das richtige Werkzeug für diese Aufgabe war. Ich bin wirklich überrascht, wie flach es unter dem Öldeckel war. Ich habe immer noch keinen Ersatzfüller für den nächsten Ölwechsel besorgt, also vielen Dank für die Erinnerung. Ich werde es mir ansehen. Nochmals vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen! (Dieser Kommentar wurde von Google übersetzt, sodass ich versuchen konnte, in Ihrer Sprache zu antworten.)
