The 2018 Civic's 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine requires 3.7 US quarts of 0W-20 oil with a filter, while the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine needs 4.4 quarts of 0W-20 oil. For optimal maintenance, oil and filter changes are recommended every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months with fully synthetic oils, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oils. Synthetic oils offer advantages such as superior lubrication, longer service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner oils like 0W-20 flow more efficiently in cold weather, ensuring thorough coverage of engine parts and improved protection against wear and tear. On average, a lube and filter service for the Honda Civic costs between $90-$100 for materials and labor.

On the other hand, models like the LX, LX-P, and EX with the 2.0-liter engine hold 4.4 quarts of 0w-20 oil. The Honda Civic Type R is unique in using 5.7 quarts of oil, maintaining the 0w-20 viscosity.
