silverdevil is a glorious beacon of light

Don't forget to check to see if the filter gasket from the old filter was removed with it. If not you can run into a big problem. It happened to me once.

toastyghosty: I want to get rid of my DIY Oil Change thread since your DIY has pictures, but add a couple of things before I do, okay?

1. For people to look in the manual to see how much oil they need to put in. (look at the different requirements for VTEC and non-VTEC Civics)
2. Torque specification for the drain plug. (look in the manual, again it varies with model)
3. Torque specification of the filter. It's specified on the filter itself.
