  1. 2001-2005 Honda Civic Oil Change, Lifting the Car: шаг 1, изображение 1 из 1
    • Begin by locating the jacking point on the driver side of your Civic. It's just behind the front wheel.

    • Place the jack just beneath the jacking point so that upon contact, the jacking point will be centered on the jack.

    • It's helpful, but not necessary, to jack up both sides of the car. Since the oil drain plug is on the driver side of the car, jacking just the driver side should be sufficient.

    • Lift the car high enough so that you can fit the jack stand beneath the car next to the jack. Be sure the jack stand is centered beneath the frame, so that when the car is lowered it will sit evenly on the jack stand.

    • Slowly lower the jack so that the frame of the car is resting securely on the jack stand.

    • Continue lowering the jack in order to remove it from under the car.

    • Never work underneath a car that is resting only on a jack. The jack can slip or fail resulting in serious injury.

    Jack stand is not on re-enforced area.

    • Locate the 17 mm hex drain plug. It will be on the driver side of the oil pan facing the rear of the car.

    • There's a sign pointing to it if you can't find it.

    • Slide the oil drain pan beneath the drain plug so that it catches the oil when you start to drain it.

    • Use a 17 mm box-end or socket wrench to loosen the drain plug. When you're able to, remove the wrench and loosen it by hand.

    • Be sure to wear protective gloves (and eyewear). If the car has been running, the oil, transmission and exhaust may be hot. Also, keep some rags or towels close by in case of spills.

    Unless a previous owner switched the drain plug on my civic, that is the incorrect size. It is actually 13 mm

    Honda Dealership said 17mm is the standard OE bolt size

    • When it's loose enough, remove the plug altogether and let that old stuff flow!

    • While the car's relieving itself, wipe the drain plug down with a clean towel.

    • Never reuse a compression "crush" washer. Always replace the oil-pan nut with a new compression washer. Once you tighten the new one, it's should be considered "used."

    • When the oil drain has halted, or slowed significantly (drip....... drip........ drip), wipe its chin with a clean paper towel or rag.

    • Don't use a gunky towel; we want to try to avoid pushing any kind of junk into the oil drain hole.

    • Then insert the drain plug and tighten it with all the finger-strength your little fingers can muster.

    • Use the box-end or socket wrench to lightly tighten the plug. Do not overtighten. This can strip the plug's threads or crack the oil pan. It is recomended to tighten the plug to the specified torque with the use of a torque handle (refer to the service manual).

    For my 2005 Civic Hybrid, the manual torque spec is 29 f/lb.

    • From the underside of the car, locate the oil filter. It will be installed on the engine block just above the driver side axle shaft.

    • Keep the oil drain pan nearby as you reach up to get a grip on the oil filter. Loosen it slowly and carefully, trying to avoid spilling oil.

    • Remove the filter and keep it open side up to prevent spilling oil on yourself.

    • Pour the remaining oil out of the filter. Set it top-side down in the oil drain pan to allow any excess oil to drain.

    • Now grab a clean rag or paper towel and reach up into the engine again to wipe off any oil from the face of the housing, where the new oil filter will seal against.

    • You can exit from beneath the car, and remove the oil drain pan as well.

    • Now take that brand new oil filter, and with your finger, apply some new oil on the rubber gasket.

    • Time to assume that uncomfortable position under the car again. Reach up with the new oil filter and insert it into its new home; tighten to a nice snug fit.

    • Do not overtighten. It's a very difficult space to get an oil filter wrench into if you need it.

    • Place the jack under the jacking point again (just next to the jack stand), and raise the car so that the car is off of the the jack stand.

    • Lift up the lever on the jack stand to lower its saddle column, and remove the jack stand from under the car.

    • Be sure no one or nothing is under the car before you do all this. We especially like to keep our faces beautiful and non-pancaked.

    • Lower the car, nice and slowly...

    • Now open the driver side door, and below the steering column to the left, there will be a cute little lever showing a white car with its hood popped up. Pull the lever.

    • The hood should be "popped". Find the hood latch centered at the front of the hood, just above the Honda emblem.

    • Push up on the latch and raise the hood.

    • With one hand holding the hood up, use your other hand to raise the hood prop rod and insert it into the corresponding notch under the hood. Voila!, your hood is propped up.

    • Locate your oil filler cap. It's on the top-right of your engine block. Unscrew it (counter-clockwise).

    • Remove the cap.

    • Place a clean plastic funnel in the opening.

  14. 2001-2005 Honda Civic Oil Change: шаг 14, изображение 1 из 2 2001-2005 Honda Civic Oil Change: шаг 14, изображение 2 из 2
    • Holding the funnel with one hand, use your other hand to pour in about 3.7 quarts of 5W-20 new motor oil.

    • Eyeball it. It's better to add too little at first because it's always easier to add more rather than drain the extra oil.

    • Once you're done with that, screw back in the oil filler cap so that it's a snug fit.

    A civic hybrid can be done using these instructions, but Honda recommends using a synthetic oil - 0W-20 I believe.

    Use 0W20 synthetic NOT 5W20

    • Locate your orange dipstick.

    • Remove it and wipe off the oil, then replace it.

    • Remove it again to ensure the oil is at the proper level between the two holes, or slightly above.

    • If it's too low, you can add more - repeat steps 13 and 14 above accordingly. If it's slightly above, don't worry; some will drain into the new filter. If it greatly exceeds the maximum level indicated by the upper hole, you'll need to drain some - refer back to steps 3 through 6.

    • Replace the dipstick.

    • Return the hood prop rod to its home in the clasp at the front of the engine.

    • Gently lower the hood, and push down on it to make sure it latches.

    • Be sure that you don't leave any trash on top of the engine, and make sure the oil filler cap and dipstick have returned to their respective places before closing the hood.

    • Before driving anywhere, start the car and let it run for a couple minutes. While the engine is running, check underneath the car for any oil leaks. If oil is dripping from the drain plug you should first check for any cracks in the drain pan. If there are no cracks, you can turn off the car, and tighten the drain plug. Also, check again that the oil level has not gone outside the limits while the car was on.

    • This won't be required every time you change your oil. This signal will appear at specified mileage intervals for routine maintenance. See your owner's manual for details.

    • The light is indicated on the dash between the tachometer and speedometer

    • While the car is off, hold down the trip meter reset button. Turn the ignition on, but do not start the engine. Continue to hold the button for approximately 10 seconds, until the indicator turns off.

  18. 2001-2005 Honda Civic Oil Change, Recycle!: шаг 18, изображение 1 из 1
    • Allow oil filter to drain into oil drain pan for 12-24 hours.

    • Take your old oil and filter to a recycling facility. Most auto parts stores and repair shops accept these at no charge. In addition, some cities and/or counties have a service where they will collect used oil and filters from your home. For more information, see the American Petroleum Institute's web page on used motor oil collection and recycling.

You may need a breaker bar to remove the drain plug from the oil pan housing. Also, the manual recommends that the drain plug be replaced at each oil change. I have found this wildly unnecessary, but was able to buy a couple spares for less than $3.00 each through a dealership. The reason they recommend this is because the plug itself is made from a softer aluminum alloy. After 150K miles, they're nearly impossible to remove without a breaker bar. A new plug (which is slightly shorter in length) does help, and does not leak.

Good Question it is very use full guide. please A civic hybrid can be done using these instructions, but Honda recommends using a synthetic oil - 0W-20 I believe.

I have a 2005 Civic and the drain plug on mine is 16mm, not 17mm.

rckytop - Ответить

The washer is aluminum (crushed washer), not the drain plug (at least on my Civic 2001) and needs to be changed each time. My car is 180000 miles and the drain plug is as good as new.

This is a nice article. I have noticed that removing the filter can be really messy so I would suggest to put some rags underneath to catch all the oil from the filter. Also I use the jack to raise the car higher in order to speed up the draining process.

A quick tip when draining the oil is, once you have the drain plug removed, also remove the cap on top of the engine. This will help to drain more oil out and do it faster. Also check with your supplier to see if you can buy a magnetic drain plug. This pulls any metal shavings out of the circulating oil and is better for your engine and filter. Will be a few more dollars than a regular plug but worth the peace of mind in my opinion, particularly if your car is older. Happy driving!

I wouldn't recommend crawling under a jacked-up car without jack stands or some type of blocks. It's very dangerous; I know someone who was killed when they skipped this step and their jack failed. I realize that's not likely, but believe me, it happens.

If money is no problem then purchase a pair of jack stands as the guide states.

If in a pinch (oil change on the side of the highway?) remove a wheel and lay it down under the car for a little added protection.
