Used fumoto on my previous 2 cars and the CTR without issues. Would totally recommend it.
If you want to try slowing the flow, dont crack open or remove the fill cap.
Which Fumoto valve do you use? Their website doesn't list the Type R / 2.0 liter engine.Used fumoto on my previous 2 cars and the CTR without issues. Would totally recommend it.

It's in my garage bud I clean it up well just looking for tips to improve. This is the first car I've done oil changes on so it's new ground for me. (oil changes)have done 2 oil changes since new last year and this car is not messy by any means I believe. never splattered oil everywhere. pretty much the same as any other Honda like my DC5 and old 94 Accord regarding the draining. the oil filter on this car is in a good and easy non messy position unlike the K20A2 engine and F22B on my other cars I mentioned. K20A/K20Z series engines take the cake for messy. you doing the oil change, at least you can take the time to do a thorough clean of any areas that get oil. anybody else shop/dealer will probably leave it be all messy.
don’t over think it.I know some run a fumito valve but I've read some things about those that makes me paranoid to run one - so those that do it as it sits - in their garage - how do you not get oil jetting everywhere under the car when you release the drain bolt?
I was armed with a funnel this time as well and it still got me it's like high pressure?
I took the filter out first - caught the drippings - was off to a banging start.
Then the oil drainbolt - ARGGH
Now I have a big mess to clean after I finish. Any tips?

Yeah, I made the mistake of taking my CR-V to the dealer for an oil change, and made a further mistake of not looking under afterwards. They took off and kept the aero pan underneath. Now of, course after doing my own change, they claim I can't prove they left it off or took it. Wonder how much they sold it for. Stay away from Bell Honda in PhoenixYeah but man the dealership techs and my car? All kinds of things can go wrong. It's not hard to do, just a bit messy so was looking for options.
This really sucks to hear. I bought my Civic there and was thinking of having them do some fluid changes. I still haven't established a consistent and reputable network here in Phoenix. The type that you can drop the car off at, and not have to question the work that was done. In Los Angeles I had a go-to for anything that I needed for things I didn't want to do myself.Yeah, I made the mistake of taking my CR-V to the dealer for an oil change, and made a further mistake of not looking under afterwards.

How much does that cost?MityVac fluid evacuator.
If you get it in to the oil pan just right, it’ll drain it almost completely. You can put it up on stands after and pull the drain plug if you like, only about a shot glass worth more comes out over a few minutes of dripping.
Found it for between 80-100 depending on where you get it. Interesting but not sure if way I want to go or not.How much does that cost?
