No problem 👍🏻 thanks for the feedback 🔥
Cheers m8 love my Honda 8 gen. Good video straight on point with no bull 👍
Thanx, really appreciate your time
Thanks a lot for this video. I had a civic 7th gen and serviced that myself twice,great car....great car. Now I have an 8th gen, I didn't do it myself since I thought the undercover had to be taken off in order to get to the sump plug. I will service it myself next time. However, the other fluids I will leave to the pros.
Really useful video. Cheers dude
This will be useful!
5w30 is good all year round in the UK. We don't get cold winters.

I’ve always used the factory 0w20 myself, Honda type 2

@@eddgreen9376 they don't typically bother making 10w20 or 5w20 oils for the EU market. It's easier to just make everything 0w20 and sell it internationally regardless of the climate.
I noticed that you don't have the silver metal under tray. I have one on mine I just checked. So I know what to take off when I service it.
Top tip at 4:55 👍😃
hi mate where did you get that front grill?
Nice Vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. What was the OBD 2 you had, and what would you recommend?....

I use a BlueDriver, it is pretty good a bit more expensive than others but totally worth the money! It had pointed me in the right direction when things go wrong more than once 👍🏻
Original Honda oil that Honda recommends is 0w 20 which is insane

It’s only an overflow and reserve bottle. Coolant is checked via the fill cap on the radiator when car is cold.
you need to change the brake and clutch fluids, they dont' look wel.
Nice video bro👍🏼 1 question where do you dispose you're old oil?

I got my 1.8 petrol 8th gen civic down to 5.1 litres per 100kms. That was mainly motorway driving. However I get around 6.5 litres per 100 Kms mixed driving. And 7- 8 litres per 100 Kms for city driving.
is that the K&N 57i air intake?

Not worth the money. Just buy a type r and turbo the k20.
Don’t wear gloves. You’re ruining the pleasure of fixing your car by yourself:)
How pathetic, can't afford a type R. Only a pathetic weak eco box
