I am interested in a new Civic but have a few questions.
Initially I was interested in a 2019 Civic EX with the 1.5L turbo but after reading online regarding potential issues with oil dilution I'm having second thoughts. This is a car I would like to buy and keep for 10 years. It's my understanding that the 2.0L engine might be the safer (but more boring) option. I have actually driven both and of course I liked the 1.5L better but I could live with the 2.0 - the bad part is that a few of the options I would like to have only come on the 1.5L.
Also do these civics require full synthetic oil? And what is the approx cost of an oil change? I'm not a do it your selfer.
How expensive is overall maintenance on these new civics?
Does these have a timing chain or belt? Is there any maintenance required in this area?
Thanks,
