best bet, fill it 1L at a time over 15min intervals and watch the level reading

then start it up once it's full, check the level again and top up as required

thanx mate nother pain in the ass question the oil filter wont budge witch way dose it spin if im laying under the car with my legs hangout out the front of the car. right or left

anti-clockwise to loosen..

soooo in your position...turn to the left.

clean the oil filter, with a rag or something so there is no residue on it.. wear some latex gloves, and it should grip really well.. from there its just man power=)

needs to be cleared up

start the engine and let it idle while the oil circulates and the filter fills up then switch it off and check it again

go to the dealer and ask for the filter removal cap tool, will make doing changes sooo much easier (if you use oem filters that is)

[patto14]

nah my dick head mate tightend the filter insted of undoing it making it imposible lol and i have 1 of those tools that use but it just dosent grip and when it dose theres no room under there 2 move its long handle around

[Frankie]

get dry rag and use ur muscle

[patto14]

haha i am using my musles i just cant reali get to it not enough room to move around lol

[Frankie]

tap it with a hammer lightly dont smash it might losen it a bit

[Boban]

if i can't get mine off i put a screwdriver through it (only if you're replacing the filter as well) and use the screwdriver as a lever. Messy but it works

[TheSaint]

all the information should be in the cars manual lol

[EK1.6LCIV]

lol those universal tools don't work on the ek civics, very well anyhow as it has a recession to get to making the angle a pita to get to

[patto14]

yeah was tempted but just decided to leave the filter as it was newish anyway ill get in a few more weeks when i do the oil again and the 4 rocker cover gasket`s

stab a thick screw driver through it after oil has been drained and use the handle to turn it...worked for me the 1st time i tried, its dodgy but works!

[cheapdouchebag]

why dont ye go down to those auto stores like supercheap auto or repco, get the tool think its called a oil filter wrench or something i forget, i used it once, and it broke on me the second time i used it, but 7bucks to get it off once is alright imo.it looks like a plastic spanner with one of the ends that can be loosley pushed or pull to grip the filter

[CB7_OWNER]

I know with a b16 in an ek, you can actually get to the filter from the engine bay top view.. which makes it easier getting your power down to remove it. rather den lying under the car in weird awkward positions.

[patto14]

nah there no room up there 2 move the wrench handle i have 1
nah ill just have the car slightly warmer when i losen it next time always found it easyer 2 loosen it when its slightly war but no t enough to burn you lol
