• Honda Civic: How to change oil

  The short answer is to warm the engine, jack the car up and put it on secure jack stands, then drain the old oil, replace the oil filter, and refill the engine with the grade and amount of oil specified in your handbook. However, the better way to change the oil is to give the car to a qualified mechanic and have them do it, saving hours of time.

  By the time you drive around to purchase oil and a filter from an auto parts store, then drive home, you won't have saved much compared to getting a professional to do it!

• Honda Civic: How to bleed a clutch

  Bleeding a clutch system involves purging the hydraulic system that operates the clutch slave cylinder, replacing the old fluid with fresh fluid. This is an important piece of maintenance to do as the fluid breaks down over time, or air bubbles can appear in the system, causing problems actuating the clutch. Bleeding these systems isn't a job for an amateur as they involve corrosive fluids and specific techniques that, if done incorrectly, can cause significant damage.

  It is far better to get a qualified mechanic or dealership to bleed your clutch system for you.
