As an American, I would say that for the 2017 Honda Civic, the recommended oil type and amount is 0w-20 and 3.4 quarts, respectively. It is important to change your oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine issues, so using high-quality oil is crucial for smooth engine performance. Neglected oil maintenance can result in engine failure, with symptoms like a foul burning odor and poor gas mileage. Furthermore, engine knocking noises may occur if oil problems persist. Immediate attention is needed to prevent any serious damage, such as engine failure.

To the individual who added too much oil: Instead of pointing fingers at the instructions, take responsibility for not monitoring the filling process regularly. It's unreasonable to pour in oil without occasionally checking the level. Did you make sure you put the oil in the right spot? Did you drain the old oil first?

This post should be removed. The oil capacity for the 2.0 is 4.4 quarts. I accidentally added 5.5 quarts of oil to my Honda, causing it to significantly exceed the full mark on the dipstick. I had to spend the following hour draining and refilling the car's oil!

Here's a paraphrased version of the text you provided:
"It's crucial to regularly inspect your oil levels by checking the dipstick. The 4.4 quarts usually falls between the minimum and maximum range, which is acceptable, but I prefer to top it up to the maximum level. I drain the oil overnight using a ramp, sometimes leaving it longer if the car isn't needed. The more old oil you can drain, the better. Typically, I use around 5.3 quarts of oil. -
For the 2.0 model with a turbo, you'll need 5.7 quarts, while the regular 2.0 model requires 4.4 quarts.

Wow, can you believe the guy who waits all night to drain his oil? It's better to start the engine and let it run for about 5 minutes to warm up the oil a bit, or wait about 30 minutes after driving before draining it. It helps to raise the front of the car a little. It usually takes 5 minutes to drain the oil completely. Remember to tighten the plug properly. When changing the filter, make sure it's hand-tightened only, and give it less than a full turn once the seal contacts. Pour in the recommended amount of oil and then start the engine. The dipstick reading will be accurate once the oil circulates and fills the filter – just remember to check it when the engine is off and the car is level.
