DIY: 2016-2019 Honda Civic Sport (2.0L) Engine Air Filter Check / Replace.

DIY: 2016-2019 Honda Civic Engine Air Filter Check / Replace.

This is just a simple how to video on checking and replacing the engine air filter from a 2016-2019 Honda CIvic 2.0L non-turbo engine. It takes only a couple of minutes when doing your weekly or monthly under the hood check up on your car. It can save you time from waiting and money from labor costs. You will need a 2016-2019 Honda Civic (2.0L) air filter ( https://amzn.to/34gfar4 ).

Back story: I drive about 2,000 miles or more a month if I go on road trips. Soon Honda service reminder A01 (oil and filter change and tire rotation) will alert. That’s a good time to check the how dirty your air filter is. So to help others I made a DIY video on how to open and check the air box filter of the 2019 Honda Civic (2.0L). 🙂

The air box is on the driver side and is held by two metal clips and two slide in plastic tabs. With the car off, open the hood , unlock the two metal clips, and wiggle and slide the top cover of the air box towards the engine to unhook the two plastic tabs. The Honda Civic 2.0L engine air filter part is Part # 17220-5BA-A00 ( Amazon: https://amzn.to/34gfar4 ).

I cleaned up the air box and picked off some leaves and bugs and replaced the filter back into the box and reversed the process to close up air box.

I hope this vlog helpful. Stay tuned for more Vlogs and DIY about my 2018 Honda Clarity, 2017 Chevy Volt, and 2019 Honda Civic Sport.

Chevy Volt Vlog #71 – 69,800 Miles Update – I need to add 1 Quart at 38% oil life.

Chevy Volt Vlog #71 – At 69,800 miles – so my 2017 Chevy Volt is now about 3 years old. I noticed that it needs a quart of 0W-20 every time the oil life is at 38%. It may be just my Chevy Volt. Now my parents drive it 80-90% of the time with gasoline so it gives me more data on how the engine is holding up. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

So quick tips from this Chevy Volt Vlog:

  1. Check ALL your Chevy Volts fluid levels at least MONTHLY: oil, coolants, brake, and wind shield . The transmission fluid has no dipstick so I am planning to change it out at 100k miles.
  2. I use the dip stick as a guide to add oil when i dont have a funnel. See video.
  3. I use Mobil 1 0W-20 oil for my 2017 Volt ( https://amzn.to/2MLHMDk )

Chevy Volt Vlog #67 – 50,500 Miles – TIRE MPG HIT, Air Filter, and Cargo LIGHT !

So it s 50,500 miles and about 2 years of owning my 2017 Chevy Volt.  At 48,000 miles I change out Michelin Energy Saver tires which gave me 54 to 63 EV miles per full charge, to Bridgestone Serenity Plus  Grand touring tires.

I love the Serenity Plus tires. With great road manners and cornering, never squealed during hard acceleration or turns especially with the great torque of the Volt’s motor.  However, the mileage efficiency  hit was about 10-15% of my EV range (46-48 EV miles at full charge)  my MPG hit using gas went from 42 MPG to about 35-38 MPG.  It may be the increased weight of the tires (25 lbs versus 21 lbs) , thread pattern and the great grip of the tires as  my Chevy computer showed my “Terrain Score” was -4.5 to -3.5. With the hot California weather at 90-100 degrees, i have been using air conditioning that also impacted mileage efficiency.

After 2,000 miles with the Serenity Plus I replaced them  back to Michelin  Energy Savers. I would have gone with Bridgestone Ecopia EP422, however they needed to be special order and was not available at the time.  I would expect that the Ecopia EP422 would probably have similar efficiencies as the Energy Savers.   I will never know.  I would have love to tried out those tires!

With the Energy Savers, my Terrain score increased to – 1.8 to – 1.4 and my EV range grew back to 52 miles at full charge during the first two days of driving. NICE i got back my miles!

Of course, I do not like returning perfectly good tires.  That why i am posting this video and results:

  1. IF YOU VALUE MPG AND EFFICIENCY – PICK THE BEST FUEL EFFICIENT TIRES.
  2. IF YOU WANT GREAT DRIVING  EXPERIENCE FOR TOURING with GREAT HANDING AND COMFORT – GET A GRAND TOURING TIRES!  

Tires aside,  the 50,500 miles, 25,000 miles are ICE / GAS miles. Checking the air filter its barely dirty.  I did buy one : https://amzn.to/2K5qzPz  ready for the replacement.

For my hatch i needed more light beside the weak light on the hatch, so I added a battery operated LED light and attached it with Velcro.  Simple solution.  CAT small LED lights:  https://amzn.to/2LZ8HHw
