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!! 💙

When doing Transmission, always make sure you can loosen the 'fill' bolt first. you dont wanna empty the transmission and realize the fill bolt is seized.

cringe advice

[@JDomino]

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.

If you have a dipstick that can be a last resort fill hole lol but not all cars have that so double check!

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.

If it's a spin-on filter, I like Wix. If it's a cartridge filter, I like OEM filters. The OEM cartridge filters have the best designs and o-ring sizes to prevent the oil from draining back and causing longer dry cold starts.

The “Honda” S2K oil filter is better quality than the cheap K&N filter..... Just a heads up...

K&N filters are a joke. Mann Hummel is of way higher quality than that K&N. Mobil extended filters are 10x better than the k&n. Yes the spring type OEM Honda filters in the boxes are very good. Even the factory plastic wrapped filters are good. I work at Honda myself.

[@milanmastracci]

In what regard? Higher oil pressure? Oil filtering capability?

@@milanmastracci just use the OEM filter, the engine and filter are designed with each other in mind. using different brand filters can affect oil pressure and lower oil flow.

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!

[@koriyuhboi436]

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.

I would look everything over! Ideally, I would find a mechanic that can throw it on a hoist and do a full once over on your car. There are many things to look over to determine a vehicle safety, from tire treads, brake pads thickness, bushing condition, leaks, etc.

[@pexperience1]

Good video as always but what about the coolant😁

[@milanmastracci]

I usually just top it up with the OEM recommended coolant, and call it a day. Unless you see something for concern, I don't drain the old coolant and replace it with new fluid, especially for a daily driver. I usually modify the car (upgraded radiator, thermostat, etc) and am forced to put new coolant in it lol

[@IgorD33]

I used fram filter on my nissan sentra. Engine had 391k km when I scrapped it due to age and rust. 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

I've done a million oil changes, yet I still enjoy it. It's like ASMR lol. 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.

[@Gatman1202]

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

[@BW-kv9wj]

Where did you get the magnetic drain plugs for engine and transmission? Also, what’s the scheduled mileage to change out the brake and clutch fluid? Is it 90,000 miles for both?

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!

[@dragger168]

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]

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

@@milanmastracci thank you for the reply. Your lucky that your Z’s MT uses gear oil. But let’s say it’s for a Honda S2000 where the MT uses Honda’s manual trans fluid? Do you clean your Capri brake fluid extractor after using it? If so, what do you use? Thank you so much

Sound make a turbo Install i did it myself with a help of friends but that would be nice lol

[@angelmerino19]

Hey Milian, are you going to consider replacing the cmc and slave to delete the delay valve in both?

[@milanmastracci]

Hey Angel, unless I overlooked the CMC, it seems to be okay, however I will be addressing the CSC to eliminate the delay valve.

What is the specs for transmission drain bolt M18x1.5 or M14x1.5?? Thank you

[@spawnandbatman6975]

What manual do you use or where do you find all of the torque specs?

[@rubinlopez3747]

I never seen that oil is that the best oil out there does it have better additives then other oil

[@aseemagarwal6040]

Great video there... I have a query. As I know that 300v is a bike engine oil, can I use it in my Civic? Is the car in stock form producing 179bhp at wheels?

[@milanmastracci]

Hey Aseem, Motul makes a bunch of different 300V engine oils. As you saw in this video, you can indeed use it for your Civic. Here is a video to the day I had my car on the dyno: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2GliYaef9VspcU

How about the engine air filter?

awesome

[@milanmastracci]

You too 👊

[@Litto1]

I don’t have a brake bleeder tool. In that case for the clutch fluid change would I pump the clutch pedal?

[@milanmastracci]

Yes, exactly. You can do the pedal pumping process while cracking the bleeder to bleed the fluid.

Glad you liked it! 👊

Hey man, how is the Bando belt holding up? For some reason, it is the cheapest belt on RockAuto, and on HondaPartsNow, it says that the Bando belt is discontinued. Any issues?
