2024 Civic w/NA 2.0 - Honda recommends 0w-20 - Suggestions and thoughts?

Highly doubt it based on generic filters used at drive through oil change shops.

Give them a call about using a different oil filter?

Choose whatever makes you comfortable. Remember Honda doesn't make oil filters. But if you're looking for the best, Honda OE is not it.

Just learned a new tip for Honda owners with CVTs. Apparently the transmission vent gets clogged with debris and pressure will push the fill plug out.

Specific to Civic, there’s a ton of road debris that lands in that area. I saw a bunch of oil residue on our 2016 trans area last night and surprise surprise the fill plug had come out and was sitting on top of the trans.

The plug was extremely loose upon re installation. I pulled the fluid level plug to check and it wasn’t low. I check the oil in that car every couple weeks and I didn’t notice that last time so hopefully it’s not been open for too long.

May look into an expandable plug for it or just replace the factory plug at every service. I don’t recall it being loose when I serviced it last. Cleaned the vent out for good measure but it didn’t seem clogged.

We were all set to buy a Corolla back in 2018..... Until I drove one with the CVT transmission. I hated the thing, and couldn't get out of it fast enough. It felt like driving a conventional automatic transmission that slipped really bad. We ended up buying a Camry instead, with the...
