Hello all! I purchased my 2018 Honda Civic EX-L Hatchback recently, and decided to have the oil changed by a shop as I don't have ramps at my disposal currently.
When the mechanic changed the oil, he notified / showed me that the oil was pretty burnt, and obviously had been run well over 6,000 miles. He suggested that next oil change I run an "engine cleaner" through. I am not experienced enough to know what he means (does he mean a special oil, or maybe some sort of fuel additive?) or whether or not this is something to invest in, but I thought I might ask here just to be safe. Should I run some sort of engine cleaner/fuel additive?
The previous owner used Mobil1 full synthetic oil, and I am keeping that trend going obviously, run 87 or 89 octane Shell fuel currently, and I am not modified performance-wise yet.
Any advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated!
