The 2005 Honda Civic takeS4.6 quarts (4.4 liters) of SAE 5W-30 engine oil. This synthetic fluid has a very popular viscosity because it works well in nearly all climates and it's suitable for a wide variety of engines. Honda recommends replacing this fluid in the Civic every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. However, Your maintenance interval may be more frequent based on Your personal driving habits. It's a good idea to check the fluid regularly to make sure it never gets too low or old. Thick, low, and contaminated oil can't lubricate moving components in the engine properly or help to keep it cool. You'll also experience a drop in performance and fuel economy. The average cost to have this fluid changed in the Civic is $90 to $110. Labor accounts for $40 to $60 of that total, so You can save a bit of money, if You handle the task Yourself.
