Noob Q - What kind of engine do I have? (pic attached) 98 civic ek

[Demanufacturer]

Hi! :wave:

I just bought a 98 civic ek1.. just not sure what engine I have exactly. Not sure if it was ever swapped. It looks stock but yeah, would appreciate someone naming it. Massive love if you can recommend oil & coolant for it !

It's a d16y4 . But it is a stock engine so it's not engine swapped

D16Y4.

In regards to oil & what coolant. Use the search function

Looks like a D16Y4 SOHC.. 1.6L non vtec.. Hard to tell exactly unless u take a pic of the engine number.

Coolant = oem honda or buy nulon pre-mix coolant
Oil = depends on how many K's its got. If its over 150thou just use 15w/60w semi synthetic.

If ur going to do a minor service u might as well do the below;
- thermostat
- oil filter
- fuel filter
- spark plugs
- air filter

Inspect/ Top up;
- brake and clutch fluids
- power steering fluid

Enjoy your new pride and joy.

That would be a major service, not a minor

Thank you so much for the replies. Noob Question Pt. 2: Where do I get the engine number? I searched around and took shots of most of the numbers i could find.. but where do I find the definitive model#?

[steeeven]

Right where i circled it is where your engine stamp number is.

Thanks for the tips. I thought I had found all the numbers in the bay but this one commando rolled out of my sight. I'll do some searching on oils and coolants!

Umm nope. Well depends on were u go or how u wanna call it.

Major service generally involves all of the above plus: lubricating uni joints, bearings, mounts, door hindges etc, rotation of the wheels, timing belt, idler pulley, water pump, PS/ALT belts, checking/adjusting timing to specifications, gbox oil change, full inspection report, replacement of any blown light bulbs, inspection of the exhaust sys.

Thats what a major service is which costs ya over $800+....
