If you&rsquo;re using synthetic engine oil, you&rsquo;ll need an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

The Civic&rsquo;s 1.8-liter engine needs <strong>3.7 liters of oil<\/strong>, while the 2.4-liter engine model needs <strong>4.2 liters of oil<\/strong>. The oil should meet the American Petroleum Institute&rsquo;s standards, and it should be marked with its seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use synthetic engine oil as long as it has the API certification seal and has the same viscosity grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Notes About Changing Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any vehicle on the road needs a properly lubricated engine. Otherwise, its internal components will create an immense amount of friction and wear out faster. Engine oil breaks down after a certain amount of use, at which point it will be unable to provide adequate lubrication between components. If your vehicle hasn&rsquo;t had an oil change in a while, its engine can wear out faster and cause engine damage, which is expensive to repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the most out of your car, you should get an oil change at the recommended intervals. You can change the oil yourself to save money if you have enough DIY automotive knowledge and experience. You can also have it done at the dealership or a reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/installed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"auto repair shop near you\">auto repair shop near you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where To Get Motor Oil for Your 2012 Honda Civic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&rsquo;s one thing you shouldn&rsquo;t do as a responsible car owner, it&rsquo;s skip your oil change. Motor oil degrades over time, and having old oil in your engine can lead to engine damage that can be costly to fix later on.
