"My Civichttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2481326#) si was idling like a tractor the other day so I thought since I just got it for Xmas, it may have been a long time since anyone changed the oil. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I dont usually do that but i was told it was not difficult. I used Royal Purple synthentic oil like I was reccomended on this forum.
Anyway I drain the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad oil got out. I hooked up the high pressure hose we have here at work, so I ran water through the engine, started it up and I was waiting for the water to come out clean
The engine never went above idle but my buddy told me this would be ok. Anyway, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and I was ready to go. WRONG! The damn thing won't start now. These new civics aren't as reliable as my old one. Looks like another trip to the dealer.
I'm sick of these new cars (http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2481326#)."
Man, I can always laugh to that.
