$65-75 for 5 quarts of liqui moly and a filter. I do oil changes myself cause they are too easy not to and I don\u2019t trust anyone.

Pros: easy to do

Cons: don't trust anyone

Try using an OEM Honda '03' oil filter (the filter code ends in 03). This should solve the noise it makes only when the engine is cold. This happens because other filters don't retain the oil properly, causing a slight delay of about a second when you start the car to lubricate the timing chain, resulting in the noise.

Pros: solves noise when cold

Cons: slight delay to lubricate

I had a similar thing happen on a 07 Honda Civic. Ended up being a bad oil filter ( split at a seam- deemed a manufacturer defect ).

Pros: manufacturer defect

Cons: bad oil filter

Vehicle: Honda Civic

I typically buy OEM filters from the maintenance website section for dreamshop.honda.com

I set my order to be picked up at the dealer months prior to any oil changes. The filter is always blue.

Pros: OEM filter, always blue

Vehicle: Honda Civic

You should definitely change the oil. I always recommend doing an oil change when you buy a car. When I bought my 22 civic and took it to service (because it was still in warranty) the mechanic told me it was a great thing i brought it in because the filter was so loose that he basically did 2 turns before oil started coming out. You never want to risk anything.

Pros: mechanic found loose filter

Cons: risk of engine damage

Vehicle: Honda Civic

Liquimoly is more expensive, sure, but that’s what I buy. Comes in a nice little kit with a filter and I know I don’t have anything to worry about.

Pros: comes in kit

Cons: more expensive

So that DTC sets when there is an oil pressure issue originating from the oil filter up to the bank 2 VTC solenoid and actuator, using an aftermarket item could possibly lend to this issue

Pros: oil pressure issue

Cons: aftermarket item issue

I ordered these 15400-RTA-003 oil filters on eBay for my FL5. The box and shrink wrap don't match the photos in any of the listings I've seen on and off eBay, except for this one place, which seems kind of suspicious.

Cons: suspicious box and wrap

Vehicle: Honda

Part number: 15400-RTA-003

i’d like to introduce you to the honda k series. filter on back of engine, hard to reach from top, hard to reach from bottom, easiest but still hard from wheel well. oh and if it’s a honda element or CRV, it pisses oil all down your subframe and axle shaft.

Pros: easiest from wheel well

Cons: pisses oil everywhere
