All New 2016 Civic

[makki08]

Kakainggit, yung unit ko wala pa din until now. But that's weird, pushing it down lowers the height sa mga na try ko. Pero tama sila, sa civic and crv na na try ko, you have to push down harder para mag adjust, yung tipong parang abnormally may sumasabit na plastic thing. Just be very careful baka masira naman.

I was actually very surprised sa bilis kong nakuha yung unit. Probably because we got it thru in-house financing from Honda Cars Kalookan? Inquired and showed our interest to get a Honda Civic 1.8E on Nov 22. Sent our requirements thru e-mail and by Nov 28, the agent informed us that the unit can be released on the 30th. Went to the dealership on the 30th to give the downpayment and hardcopies of the requirements, tapos noong araw din yun na-release samin yung unit! Though it did not come with the promised tints kasi daw di na sya maa-accomodate that day since nag-half day yung mga laborers (it was a holiday). Hopefully the OR/CR can be released soon so I can go back to the dealership to get the free tints.

Speaking of height adjustment of the driver seat, so i just tried it today (tinamad ako i-retry sya last night), pero parang di pa rin sya umaangat! Im pulling the lever up na to raise it pero di pa rin sya tumataas. Instead, it's moving forward similar to when you use the adjuster underneath the seat to move it horizontally. Huhuhu.

Yun talaga galaw niya. Upwards and forwards.

Aww, parang di kasi sya umangat so nabababaan pa rin ako. Yikes. Di ako sanay. Haha!

its like a scissor jack.. di naman kasi pwede naka vertical sliding rail...

the front to back adjustment is a sliding rail...

Wow congrats, ang bilis nga release. May I know what color did you choose?

Tama nga naririnig ko na priority ang in house financing.

Very good choice of color pre. Ganda ng contrast nya sa tail lights.

Just had my fluids check by a gas boy while I was having my car filled up.

I was shocked when he said na kulang na oil ko (kaka 1 month check ko lang sa casa). Pero short drive lang from the house na so tinuloy ko nalang. Checked earlier this morning before starting up okay pa naman levels within the criss cross patterns then consulted the manual to check after 3 mins of turning engine off pala dapat ang checking. So I decided to drive to work then checked after parking and waiting for 3 mins. Dumami because of expansion ata dahil sa heat pero goods parin.

Did I do that right? Do you guys check while hot or cold? For top up purposes do you recommend buying from Honda para ilagay sa trunk? Mixing different brands and grade is not recommended?

Check mo sa umaga bago gamitin. Yan ang best time to check.

Theres a difference between checking the dipstick before and after an engine is started

Before running the engine the oil was stagnant for a long time and most likely have stayed down due to gravitational pull. Hence, the oil level will be either exactly on the max hole or a tad higher

When the engine is started the oil inside will disperse, spread out in the different nooks and crannies of the engine. Turn off the engine and check the dip stick. If previously the oil level is exactly on the max hole then after the engine run it should be a tad below the max hole. If its a tad more than max hole then it should be exactly on the max hole after the engine run

The proper level should be the one after an engine run when the oil is properly dispersed inside but since its the MAX hole were talking about its alright for the oil level to be a tad less than max

You need to top up only when the oil is already below the minimum hole

Thats what i learned from a mitsubishi service advisor

no need to bring engine oil... no oil consumption issues for that engine.

Got it boss thanks hehe. At least this incident finally forced me to learn how to check fluids which in retrospect I should have done when I got the car

engine oil is "stored" in the oil sump, which is the lowest part of the engine.
when the engine starts running, the oil pump pushes the oil to the rest of the engine, which is above the sump, to lubricate the engine.
when the engine is turned off, the oil is still in the upper parts of the engine. it takes a few minutes for that oil to gravitate down back to the sump.
in that period of gravitation, checking the oil level will give a misleadingly low reading.
this is one reason why i do not want the gas boys to check my oil level while i am gassing up. chances are, it will be misleadingly low.

oil expansion due to heat is very minimal. i doubt if one can see the difference, by just looking at the dipstick level. so, it does not matter whether you check oil level when hot or when cold. just give the oil a few minutes to gravitate back to the sump.

btw,
be sure the vehicle is level, when checking oil level.

Thanks! I guess that explains the first reading and second reading difference first one was on a bit of an incline. Was planning to move the car before checking but I was in a rush to get to the office hehe

So does that mean it is better to check the oil level a few minutes after turning off the engine? Or will "before turning on the engine in the morning" do?

gasboy: oh no! only 1 inch is wet! the rest of the stick is dry, your oil is low sir!

Varies depending on the manufacturer and engine model ...

I never have them check my engine bay. I can do that myself.
