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 )

EASY DIY: Replacing Honda Fender Liner Clips! 7.4 mm Nylon Rivets Needed!

My 2007 Honda Accord fender liners falling off and were making a gap.
It was missing 8 fender liner clips. I wanted to fix this before the liners fall off.My Youtube vlogs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

Not sure if they were missing when I bought the car, but I went ahead and ordered a box of assorted nylon push fasteners and rivets: https://amzn.to/2H1KDUz – they were about $17 dollars or so a whole box of push rivets and it came with trim tools. These were not Honda nylon rivets, as OEM has metal elements in the rivets. They seem a bit fragile but should work. I don’t know if they will last. I needed 7.5 mm rivets for the fender liner. The package had 20 of them. It would have cost about $2 or per rivet at the dealer… 🙁
It only took about 6 minutes but it beats the liner falling off on the road!

For my 2007 Honda Accord, I don’t drive it as much due to my other hybrid vehicles. I keep the battery charged and maintained with a Battery Tender 3 amp ( https://amzn.to/2Lp1CUZ ). I charge it every month, as I want to keep the 12 volt battery from dying.
