Curious..? whats Your mileage at.? mine has 121,000 Canadian Kms.

 

02 civic 275k us miles.//07 Fit 210k us miles.

 

what brand of oil do you use ? and filter kind ?

 

i have 299,768 miles on my civic.. both motor and chassy .. WOW>

 

Don't own a civic.

 

mobil 1 5-20 on both cars. filter is fram or stp.

 

unless its an XP synthetic Fram Your ok. but if its the orange cheap Fram oil filter? its made way to cheap.. Youtube it... You will see what I mean..

 

at 275k and going good, i don't see why not. My nissan 85 truck has 375k when I sold it and now has 450k with the castrol and fram filter, same engine, no lost of oil, no smoke, just change alternators and water pumps, spark plugs and wires, vaccum lines .. if the filter was bad to use, the engine would have already been destroyed. oil n filter replace ea 5k. still running good. todate I have not lost an engine or changed or oil burn from any of my vehicles using the fram or stp filter. I do drive hard, when the police are not too close around.

 

in the past the orange frams were ok to use. its the more recent ones You
gotta wory about. on the orange frams the paper seems are glued this
one was found open. i use the synthetic Puralotor oil filter on the Honda
the media found inside and the ant-drain back valve is much better built quality wise.
