Your Honda Civic’s oil filter helps trap and remove contaminants in the oil before it is recirculated throughout your vehicle’s engine. Changing your 2016-2020 Honda Civic’s oil and oil filter is a straightforward maintenance task that can improve your Honda's engine performance and longevity. Your Honda Civic’s oil filter should be replaced during each oil change, in addition to adding fresh oil. It’s recommended by most 2016-2020 Honda Civic owner’s manuals that you change your Civic’s oil and oil filter when the Oil Change Light illuminates on your dashboard, as your Honda is built with an oil life monitoring system that allows for variation in the oil change interval. Your Honda's service manual will detail the manufacturer’s maintenance intervals and the oil life indication system. A clogged oil filter or dirty oil can cause decreased engine performance, sputtering, metallic sounds from your Honda's engine, or may even cause the engine to seize. Our detailed instructions will help you perform an oil change on your Honda Civic.

Use your ratchet and socket to remove the drain bolt… and let the oil run out completely.
Wipe any excess oil from around the opening… and off the drain bolt with a shop towel.
Discard the old washer… and reinstall the drain bolt with a new washer.
Tighten the drain bolt to 30 foot pounds.
Locate the oil filter… and use your filter wrench to loosen it.
Finish removing it by hand… and pour the oil from the filter into the drain pan.
Wipe down the area where the filter was threaded… and make sure the old o-ring came off with the filter.
Lubricate the new o-ring with fresh oil.
Thread the new filter into place by hand.
Once the o-ring is against the oil pan, tighten the filter to 9 foot pounds.
Open the hood… and locate the oil fill cap.
