Hi,

First post here, hoping for some advice. My oil light has come on on my 8th gen 1.8 petrol civic. I'm wondering how much oil do I need to add if the line is at the bottom of the honeycomb etching on the dipstick please?

Thanks!

All dipstick on all vehicles 1990+ are 1L/1qt for the fill zone.

If you see a red oil can you are critically low and should not operate the vehicle until topped up. All red lights mean stop operation, just like red traffic lights.

if you see a yellow service light, or notification about oil service an the dash, or a low oil percentage reading, this means you are due for an oil change.
