1995 Civi: Oil and Filter Change
Been using the dealer to get oil and filter changes all these years. They
use Castol oil and Honda filter. I can get a better price on an oil change at a non dealer. A place that also uses Castrol Oil. Should I absolutely request they use a genuine Honda filter? Also, what is the recommended oil viscosity for a 9 year old Civic that is going to see a winter with snow and cold? I was going to ask for 10W-30. Thanks |

Forget all the hoopla about Honda filters........
Just use 5w30 year round unless you live in the south/southwest. I use STP 2808 or Purolater filters. But I change my oil every 3000-3500 miles. The best filter is the one changed often. 200,000+ ABUSIVE miles on my 93 Civic. By abusive, I drag racer, autocross, and started doing lapping days on REAL tracks.
