Change Oil Recommendation for Honda Civic 1996 (Fairview)

**lloydi12345** · November 27th, 2013 04:53 PM

Hi guys. I have read lots of recommendations here but I also have lots of questions so I decided to make my own thread. I wanted to have my engine oil changed. Where should I buy the engine oil? Is it still safe to drive my car because I am already in 6.4K km (should be 5k right?) and the oil is already black. Can you suggest a place nearby? This is my first car by the way and what else should I check? Spark plugs, etc.?

I also observed lot of things to be checked. Sometimes I could smell a small burn on my clutch when I open my car door but not really always. It only happens if I am stuck for a long period of time on inclined road or with heavy load. Few times also, I find it slightly hard/sticky to shift from 3rd gear to 2nd gear if I am still in a fast motion.

I hope I won't spend over 6k php for everything.

Thank you!

Sir, anong engine oil ginamit nyo jan last time? sa 6.5k sir kailangan nyo na magpalit ng oil para rin po sa engine nyo yun. ako ginagamit ko bardhal yung color gold yung label or yung sa honda mismo.

and yung sa clutch mo baka po laging nakatapak kayo sa clutch mangangamoy po talaga kung ganon lalo kung inclined road tapos di ka bibitaw sa clutch, advise lang siguro kung ganon nasa inclined road ka magneutral ka then tapak ka lang sa brake or pwedeng magbrake ka nalang.

sa shifting mo naman po ng gear check mo yung atf baka palitin na rin. kaya may konting sabit.

Hi brendomax, di ko alam yung ginamit na engine oil dito ng dating user. 3rd user na po ako ng car. Magkano sir yung bardhal and saan mo nabili? Same lang po ba tayo ng model and year ng car? Manual pala yung car ko. Automatic Transmission Fluid ba yung ATF? Thanks

Honda Civic ES 2001 po akin sir

dapat sir pagkabili nyo pinatune up nyo po agad. palit lahat ng oil, spark plug, timing belt para po alam nyo kung kelan kayo magpapalit ulit. ganon po kasi ginawa ko dati saken dati. tsaka nyo po pag aralan kung ano yung mga ibang problema ng car kung meron man. yung oil na gamit P350/liter lang, yung atf para po sa transmission yun.

Ganito lalo na first time ka. Wag ka didirecho sa talyer dahil lahat ng parts doon papatungan ka. Example ang vic sa mga talyer nasa 250-270 pesos. Pero sa car parts shop sa banawe eh 150 lang.

Sa kotse mo pwede ang engine oil na API rating na CI-4/SL. (example delo gold 15w40, idemitsu extreme touring 15w40 CI-4/SL. Partneran mo ng oversize filter na baldwin b1431. Meron yan nagtitinda sa sta mesa near mezza residence. Pwede mo paabutin 10thou-12thou kms. Pero pag vic oil filter gamit mo hanggang 5thoukms palitan mo na.

*lloydi12345: Sir, taga Fairview ba kayo?

Alamin niyo muna kung anong klaseng oil ang ginamit. Kung FS oil kasi, pwede pa yang 6.5k kms. Ako sa Honda Fairview nagpapa change oil noon but now, I bring it to Speedyfix in San Juan. Pero sa service other than tune up and change oil, sa Honda Fairview padin kasi malapit so very convenient for me. Pinapaabot ko ng 8k kms ung akin kasi FS oil naman. Pero kung mineral oil lang yan, dapat palitan mo na. Feel the oil sir, kung medyo grainy na or magaspang, palitin na pag ganon.

If budget is a constraint, try going to Unioil for change oil. They are using Idemitsu, if I am not mistaken. Yan din daw ang ginagamit ng Honda pero rebadged siya. Pwede din sa Abante Marketing, sila ung previous Good Year shop malapit sa North Fairview. Pwede din ung Yokohama near Tandang Sora. Diyan kasi ako bumibili ng gulong and nakikita ko na andaming nagpapa change oil sa kanila. There is also Influx. Or in Shell, Don Antonio. Karamihan naman ng gasoline stations they offer tune up and change oil. Wag ka lang pumunta sa Rapide.

Kung FS oil ang gagamitin mo, pasok pa siya sa inaasahan mong hindi ka gagastos ng 6k. Pero ung sa smell of burned clutch smell, medyo mahirap malaman kung ano ano ang kailangan palitan diyan. They need to check where that smell is coming from. Pwede din kasing brakes ang may problem.

Yes, ATF means Automatic Transmission Fluid pero pwede yan sa M/T. Yan ang nilalagay sa mga auto namin pero manual naman.
