Hi!
I purchased the honda civic 2016 civic lx (72k miles on it) recently, and planning to do some maintance.
I'll get the oil and filter changed as well as the transmission fluid.
I'm gonna go to the mechanic that I know but I don't believe the oil and the transsmision fluid they will use be best quality so I might buy and bring them with me to the mechanic and just pay for the labor.
if I am not mistaken civic requires full synthetic 0W-20 oil, Is there any price performance oil brand you guys can suggest me to buy?
but which type of transmission fluid it is requires how much do I need, also any transsmission fluid recommendation?
I don't know if I should go to honda dealer and let them have handle it instead of bringing the oil/fluids to my mechanic and have pay for the labor because I don't know if the honda dealer will use good stuff either. They might be using what the other mechanics use and just charge extra because it is honda dealer.
Previous driver never mentioned me about he getting the transmission fluid changed. So, I'm guessing it is going to be first time. The car drives, and shifts good, I even had the mechanic checked it but who knows what's inside the transmission fluid. I have read some people having transsmision problem after getting the tranmission fluid change cuz it is too late to change it but they have it changed anyways. There is no apparent problem with the car now. If there are parts in the transmission fluid, will I have a problem when I change the transsmision fluid?
