No jack stands! Your a brave person

[@zmadani341]

Jack stands a must

[@chomplax594]

Thank you bossing! Always love to see more civic sport content!

[@BenjieMoreno]

You are welcome! =D

[@buhboni7324]

Great content bro thanks 👍

[@csabour9]

Cool I have this car and this is a great tutorial.

[@Jonsoar]

Nice to see Honda hasn't messed with the 2.0 liter engine. Same basic oil filter and not one of those dumb paper filter canister things. Keep a good thing going. I'm considering buying the same car.

[@BenjieMoreno]

basic good old oil change indeed. did the 2nd change this month - same flow

[@MelissaUy-fk7cq]

Thank You!

[@BenjieMoreno]

you are welcome! =)

A good friend of mine when he was a kid went outside to see how his dad was making out working on their car, and he found his dad crushed to death underneath. You gotta use jack stands or at least something solid that will prevent you from being unalived if the jack slips or fails. Chalking tires is a must as well.

[@marcknightly9677]

That's horrible. It takes just a few mins to put the jack stands underneath. So sad.

[@RyansReaper]

I did alot of research on oils and filters. Purolator boss filter and amsoil are the best options

[@BenjieMoreno]

i agree. but for none turbo, economical none premium engine, its too expensive

[@sanderpena]

amsoil and the fram endurance is the same filter.

[@patrickgoodwin32]

What about the metal washer? Did you replace it or re-use it?

[@BenjieMoreno]

re-use it. its built in the bolt anyway, and you dnt want to crank it like crazy, drain bolt and washer will outlast us

[@Calabrese1966]

Use the ORM oil filter as the gasket seats better and once it stops you are done . I like FRAM, but the Honda one is a better fit and easy to tighten. The cyber requires a #3 bit , and it’s easy to remove and put on a 2024 as there is a slot for alignment. The Touring costs $30 for the book and filter. Only takes 3.7 quarts with filter.

[@chodkowski01]

I’m starting to think if you go to a better filtering filter will that cause loss in oil pressure? And if that does will that lead to premature bearing failure?

[@BenjieMoreno]

unless stated by honda on a specific oil filter - as long as it is compliant- it should be okay. not like the mazdas with skyactive engines and turbo ones- they have specifics. i am not following on that bearing failure- but in general NA engines has less engine/leak/dilution/pressure issues vs turbo engines.

[@jefffenter8989]

Did my first oil change on my 2023 today. And what do you know they stripped out the bolt for the cover!

[@BenjieMoreno]

bet 100% they use the screw gun with full torque in it. smh- the front screw is half turn and does not require a full motion, that is a recipe for strip

[@MrGommer101]

Are there any grease fittings that need to be greased

[@BenjieMoreno]

@@MrGommer101 no grease needed

[@mistadiscovery]

I been researching when to do my first change I keep seeing change it at 1000 miles after engine break in then I saw about Hondas special break in oil with its additives and should stay in a lot longer before first change so I guess I should wait a lot longer? And any tips for good engine break in and how many miles for the break in to complete for the 23 civic sport? Thanks

[@BenjieMoreno]

typical breakin period is betweek 600-1000. cvt transmission i know atleast stay under the redline (rpm) best do not drive it hard. engine gear have to lossen up (break in), manual transmission and turbk engjnes have separate requirements. imho 1000 miles is way too low for firsh change. this very first oil and additives came from honda factory is the best and most important oil for new engine. i follow the oil meter, this computers are so advance on checking oil viscosity- i dnt go by the miles. i trust the sensor/computer

[@mistadiscovery]

@@BenjieMoreno Thanks for the reply one more question what about the metal shavings in the oil I guess that’s why people say get the first one done early to get the manufacturers metal flakes and such out of the oil and engine thoughts?

[@BenjieMoreno]

@@mistadiscovery agree. but follow up question is- does it stop the continual wearing of metal shavings if you change oil in 1000 miles? it will still need to wear down to spec before it normalize. changing 1st oil is preference, i just want to maximize that first oil came from the factory. i would probably do it if its a high spec sports car, but honda recommends atleast 3500 on 1st change

[@mistadiscovery]

@@BenjieMoreno ok I hear ya brother thanks for shedding some light I will check back for your videos for any tips on any dos or don’t dos any guidance is appreciated

[@chopstiik]

​@@BenjieMoreno if possible, will it be expensive to change from CVT? I have a CVT also and I live in germany temporarily and we got the Autobahn, so I love driving in sport mode (sometimes) which automatically makes the RPM get semi close to the red. worried now after reading your comment that driving it like this could mess something up. what can I do to change it from CVT?

[@sage6771]

Where did you get that spoiler?

[@BenjieMoreno]

ebay- si spoiler

[@dannyyyyy52]

Do you have to put oil in filter also ??

[@BenjieMoreno]

i put atleast half soak on the oil filter- you dnt have to but its a workflow

[@patrickgoodwin32]

Are you worried about the warranty? How do you prove to the dealer that you did the oil change?

[@BenjieMoreno]

warranty in terms of engine sludge? changing your own oil will not void the warranty, if you messed up something like stripping the bolt of oil pan or striping the oil filter connection- then they will not cover that.

[@manvirsandhu9174]

@@BenjieMoreno I would suggest to check with Honda Dealer or keep all receipts in safe place. I have 2023 touring, I asked them about warranties if I do oil changes by myself. They said if something happens and you’re not authorized to do oil changes then they can void the warranties. They want to see it in papers. It doesn’t matter if you go to dealer or other oil change places. They want to see the receipts.

[@BenjieMoreno]

@@manvirsandhu9174 thanks for that info. i reqlly do not worry on that side, i know what imput on the car is superior than what they use in the dealership

[@matthoffman6962]

What do you do with the old oil?

[@BenjieMoreno]

surrender it to autozone- they recycle used oil (free)

[@igorkarpov809]

I usually drink it. It has great BBQ taste.

[@timbo0755]

How come you didn’t have the dealer change the oil aren’t they supposed to give you a free oil change with no charge ?

[@BenjieMoreno]

my dealership denied any 1st change.

[@timbo0755]

Wow I’m going to call mine and see what they tell me

[@BenjieMoreno]

@@timbo0755 its not disclosed in the closing paper so there is none. yup

[@mikea5205]

Dealer completely sucks donkey balls anyways. I won't even take my car to them for free. They overfilled my sisters oil by God knows how many quarts. I had to change it myself and make sure the fluid level is correct. Another time...they lifted my car by the fender instead of the factory jacking point, leaving a huge dent in the bottom of my fender. They don't wash their hands after they do the work. They just get in your car and get your steering wheel all greasy. Not trying to scare you but this is how they operate. I only use the dealer if it is an absolute must.

[@hassanaslam6008]

Why did you do the oil change yourself? New Civics including other Honda models come with 2 years or 24000 miles free maintenance service.

[@BenjieMoreno]

not all honda does that- unless your dealership has that on paper- not all state in america covers that

[@hassanaslam6008]

@@BenjieMoreno I am from Maryland and all dealers I know covers that. I would call the dealer in your case stealership and double check with them.

[@BenjieMoreno]

@@hassanaslam6008 absolutely not all dealer covers oil change. this is the 10th honda car that we bough inside maryland on different honda dealers in a span of 20 year, not 1 of them came with free 2 years free oil change. i can give you all the names if you want. unless it was written in the paper before you signed

[@hassanaslam6008]

@@BenjieMoreno I bought mine from Parkville Honda 1000 below MSRP in April and it comes with 2 year free maintenance.

[@BenjieMoreno]

@@hassanaslam6008 good deal- i wish its a standard package but its not. the good side, im used to changing oils, its therapeutic for me- much cheaper and higher quality materials

[@godschild7387]

6,000 miles? My oil light came on at 2,700🤔

[@BenjieMoreno]

oil light should not come on at 2700 miles. check for oil leak or anything- definitely pay a visit to the dealership

[@TheSaintshockey03]

Manufacturers do not use special oil, its just the first oil it gets..

[@jizhouzhou128]

23 Hondas come with free service pass!

[@BenjieMoreno]

not in parkville baltimore =( on the other hand- ive been my own change like forever- its easy and guaranteed work

[@lucabrasi5070]

They come with it from the factory. Just go to another dealer if yours won’t honor the factory plan. 2 years of all regular maintenance free.

[@Papicodone]

@@lucabrasi5070didn’t honor it anywhere in AZ. Maybe you bought and oil change package when you bought your car?

Don’t you get free service for the first 24K miles???

[@BenjieMoreno]

not on my honda dealership

[@andrewchung7958]

Hmm, trusting your life to a few seals on a hydraulic jack😮

[@13zenon25]

Valvoline couldn’t take the cover plate off🤷🏻‍♂️ probably stripped one of the screws.

[@BenjieMoreno]

man that sucks. they have to drill off the top of the screw

[@13zenon25]

@@BenjieMoreno Oh shit, I guess I’ll find out on Wednesday at the dealer🤦🏻‍♂️

[@danr1920]

NEVER NVER DO WHAT HE DID, JACK SFANDS and jacks, or ramps. I have 225,000 miles on my Accord following the computer telling me when to change it. Engine is still great.

[@mikea5205]

That computer is for dummies. Check your oil every 5,000 miles by looking at the dipstick. If it's low or dirty, change it.

[@mahzorimipod]

lmao most dangerous way to lift your car

[@BenjieMoreno]

chill out cupcake- its change oil not engine swap

[@Lionsafari1]

Fram? Valvoline? My guy get some Mobil 1 oil n filter or oem filter. Fram is the worst

[@BenjieMoreno]

2024 modern day- as long as you have met the specs on the engine on oci compliant filters, it is more than performing on an average economical none turbo car. i have tried bosch-mobil1- fram. could hardly tell a difference

[@LTR450black]

If you bought this car brand new why the hell wouldn’t you want to use the OEM oil filter, asking for a friend, also it’s not the letter O it’s a number 0

[@BenjieMoreno]

cause i dnt want to be stuck on an institution of i can only use strict policies for an ecomic car, you can brand snub a fram thats fine with me- alot of honda stuff like labeled oem oil are made by mobil1 (read the fine print on the back) this are all collaborates of companies. 3rd oil change, almost 16k miles, 0 issues and my honda engine is rocking solid.

[@ln.5699]

I never seen a person shake an engine oil bottle before. This guy is clueless

[@BenjieMoreno]

so you set the standards? lol the fact that you watch all the way thru the shaking part- thats the best contribution you did to the universe. fly butterfly

[@riptits2894]

You lost all credibility when you held a fram filter.

lol save the comment on sports car maintenance. economic daily drive car- on a aluminum interior filter.. dnt be a brand snub. civics doesnt descriminate lol

[@roninvictor]

Hes too stingy to buy jack stands or ramps, of course hes gonna cheap out on the oil filter.
