2014 Civic Service Items
 
So what is a top notch 0W-20 Full Synthetic Oil to use?

What is a good oil filter to use a Honda filter or a Wix or a NAPA Silver or Gold?

Will Prestone Anti Freeze work well on the civic 2014?

What are good wiper refills to use?

When changing oil how tight to torque down the drain plug with the new crimp washer?

Thanks for your feedback? Anyone know of a good service / repair link for 2014?

Read specs. Several brands have oil that meets the necessary specs, but you have to read, and read between the lines.
"Recommended" is not the same as "Approved"


Mobil-1 and Pennzoil Platinum both have multiple products that are 0w20, some do and some do not meet specs.

I use Hondas filters myself.

Use Hondas Type 2 coolant.
You have 100,000 miles and/or 10 years before needing to worry about this one.

What are good wiper refills to use?
For the original blades, get inserts from the Honda dealer. AFAIK you are not going to easily get the correct inserts any other way.
