The recommended oil for a 2016 Honda Civic is a full synthetic SAE 0W-20 with a capacity of 4.4 quarts. When changing the oil, ensure the car has been parked and turned off for a couple of hours to avoid burning yourself on hot oil. Locate the oil pan and drain plug in the engine compartment, position a bucket underneath, and remove the plug to allow the oil to drain into the pan. Wait until it stops dripping, which could take about an hour. Replace the plug, then locate the oil pan's intake port and fill it using a funnel to the top, making sure not to overfill to prevent leaks and oil burn off. Close the port, clean up any spills, and the oil change is complete.
