2017 Honda Civic Oil Filter in Murray, UT

The published schedule for this model year calls for oil filter replacement every 20,000 miles. The filter captures debris from circulating oil, and replacing it alongside the oil prevents a loaded filter from continuing toward bypass operation.

• Filter replacement is performed with the oil service.
• The filter is matched to the engine fitted to the Civic.
• The filter seal is checked after the engine runs.

The replacement filter is selected for the engine in the vehicle. The technician renews the sealing piece used by that engine and checks the filter seal after operation to help confirm there are no leaks.

• Filter matched to the engine's specification.
• New drain plug gasket or washer when used.
• Inspection for leaks at the filter seal.

The engine may still receive oil, but it is no longer receiving filtered oil. Debris remains in circulation, which is why the filter is serviced with the oil instead of being stretched across two changes.

• An oil-pressure warning may appear.
• The engine may sound noisier than usual.
• Oil may darken quickly after a change.

The 2017 Honda Civic has inline-four engine layouts with displacement ranging from 1,496 to 1,996 cc across its trims. The correct filter depends on the engine actually fitted, so the technician verifies the vehicle configuration before installation.

• Inline-four engine layout.
• Displacement range of 1,496 to 1,996 cc across trims.

• Filter replacement schedule is every 20,000 miles.
• A filter can load with captured debris.
• Oil service and filter service are designed to work together.
