    Hi I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advise. We have a Civic 2.2 CDTI we'd filled up with diesel and as driving the oil light came on. I checked the levels and all correct cleared the error but it came on again and had no power when driving and kept stalling. Towed to the father in laws who...

    Hi All, Recently purchased my first Honda! a 2009 civic with the 1.8 I-VTEC but not sure exactly which oil grade would be best. Castrol oil checker suggests Castrol EDGE 0W-30 however, some other sites suggest 5W-30? I do around 20k miles a year, and perform an oil change every 10k miles...

    Dear Honda forum! I have a 9. Gen 1.8 petrol civic. I was taking it to a Honda garage and they always used 5W30 oil. I recently moved and took it to another Honda garage where they used 0W20. Castrol website recommends 0W30. Total confusion. If the car was running most of its time on 5W30 will...

    Hi, not sure if I have put this in the right section so sorry if not. I bought a 2006 civic recently, which the dealer took for an MOT on the day I was picking it up. It all passed fine, but the oil pressure switch was playing up. They gave me a new one, just didn't have time to fit it before I...

    Hi Everybody, Oil change is due soon for my 1.8 petrol 9 gen civic, now that I have reached 100K km, I was wondering which oil should I buy? I would go for Castrol, but also open to your suggestions. Living in Belgium, the climate more or less the same as in UK. So I would go for 5W30. But...

    Hi fellow Civinfo-ers! I did something daft today with my 2006 2.2 EX Civic, ran over a hidden kerb in a council car park (Bromsgrove, Worcestershire) and ruptured the oil sump it seems (oil everywhere!). Hopefully this is the only damage done as I turned the engine off immediately. Had it...
