Cool Oil Change..

2004 Civic EX 4 door 5 speed.

So I have read some post and some helpful guides, but would like to hear what you use.

My manual says 5W20 , but which brand do you like to use? Oil filer? do you have a brand that you prefer? I always stick with fram..but I think it’s because I like the box. I don’t have any evidence that it is truly better.

Anyways.. let me know which brand of 5w20 you use and why?

Stop using Fram filters! They are junk!

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W-30 with a Mobil 1 filter.
