2018 Honda Civic Oil Filter in Avon, IN | Hare Honda

Replacing both helps keep fresh oil moving through a filter that is not already loaded with debris. For this model year, the manufacturer calls for oil filter replacement every 20,000 miles.

• Filter replacement is performed with the oil service.
• The filter captures debris carried by engine oil.
• The filter is matched to the engine fitted to the vehicle.

The filter is replaced alongside the oil. Afterward, the engine is run so the filter seal can be checked for leaks before the service is complete.

• Filter matched to the engine's specification.
• New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable.
• Inspection for leaks at the filter seal.

The engine still receives oil, but it no longer receives filtered oil. Debris remains in the lubrication flow, which is why the filter should not be stretched across two oil changes.

• The filter continues holding accumulated debris.
• The bypass valve may open once the filter loads.
• Oil can circulate unfiltered through the engine.

The 2018 Honda Civic uses a 1.5-to-2.0-liter inline-four engine range across its trims. The engine actually fitted to the vehicle determines the appropriate filter.

• Engine displacement ranges from 1,496 to 1,996 cc.
• Every listed engine uses an inline-four layout.
• Hare Honda matches the filter to the fitted engine.

Replacing the filter with the oil prevents a loaded filter from continuing in service across multiple changes. The vehicle's maintenance schedule and service history determine when the next service is appropriate.

• The filter holds debris removed from the oil.
• A loaded filter can trigger bypass flow.
