Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
  • Disconnect the battery if necessary to avoid electrical issues.
2. Scan for Error Codes
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to check for any active error codes.
  • Record the codes and research them to determine if they relate to the oil change.
3. Check Oil Level and Condition
  • Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
  • Reinsert the dipstick and remove it again to check oil level; add oil if low.
  • Inspect oil condition; if it appears very dark or contaminated, consider an additional oil change.
4. Inspect Oil Filter
  • Check the oil filter for proper installation; ensure it is tight and not leaking.
  • If necessary, replace the oil filter with the correct part number for the 2022 Honda Civic.
5. Reset Check Engine Light and Oil Change Reminder
  • Access the vehicle's settings from the dashboard display.
  • Follow the appropriate steps to reset the check engine light and oil change reminder.
