How to Change Oil on 2016+ Civic 1.5L Turbo

I hate these Underbody Panels, it's a PITA but thanks OP for the write up.

I don't mind DIY but ran into this BS when my sister bought her 2010 Acura TSX. The dealer charges $79.99 for Synthetic oil change so the difference was $25 to DIY and told her to take it to Acura instead.

My Murano has this but being a Crossover it sits higher off the ground so it's easier to DIY and I use Castrol 0W-30 and not sure if they'll agree to use it.

I will DIY, I just don't trust dealerships. Since I got into DIY the only time I set go back is for warranty work.

Dealer may loose some bolts from under panel or forget to tighten them and we loose them in road ; Often read on forums.
Dealer may overfill oil .

In my opinion this work can be entrusted to beginners at the dealer with unknown results.
