Honda recommends changing your 1996 Civic del Sol’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Civic del Sol in the above table.

You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Honda if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Honda Civic del Sol. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1996 Honda Civic del Sol Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Honda Civic del Sol engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Civic del Sol’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Honda Civic del Sol oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Honda Civic del Sol exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Honda Civic del Sol? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Honda Civic del Sol oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Honda Civic del Sol oil light comes on? Your Honda Civic del Sol oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Civic del Sol's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Honda Civic del Sol during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
