The 2014 Honda Civic typically takes about 3.7 quarts of engine oil for the 1.8-liter engine, and about 4.5 quarts for the 2.4-liter engine used in the Civic Si.
The amount depends on the engine type and trim level. In 2014, the Civic was available with two four-cylinder engines: a 1.8-liter base engine and a 2.4-liter engine in the Si. This guide outlines the capacities for each option, how to verify which engine your car has, and best practices for checking and topping off oil.
Oil capacity by engine
Before listing the capacities, note that the exact amount can vary slightly by model year, region, and whether you replace the oil filter. Use these figures as a reliable reference and verify with your owner's manual or the oil fill cap.
- 1.8-liter engine (LX, EX, EX-L): about 3.7 quarts with filter.
- 2.4-liter engine (Civic Si): about 4.5 quarts with filter.
These figures refer to a fresh fill with a new filter. Always confirm the final level with the dipstick after adding oil.
Oil type and maintenance notes
Use the recommended oil type for the 2014 Civic and follow proper changing procedures. The common recommendation for this model year is 0W-20 synthetic oil, though you should verify the exact grade for your engine in the owner's manual or on the under-hood information sticker.
- Oil type: 0W-20 synthetic is commonly recommended for both engines in this model year.
- Procedure: drain used oil, replace the oil filter, add new oil gradually, run the engine, then recheck level with the dipstick and top off to the Full mark if needed.
Always adhere to the manual’s guidance for oil change intervals and service notes, and recycle used oil responsibly.
Summary
For the 2014 Honda Civic, plan on approximately 3.7 quarts of oil for the 1.8-liter engine and about 4.5 quarts for the 2.4-liter Si. Use the correct 0W-20 synthetic oil, replace the filter during changes, and always verify the final oil level with the dipstick against the Full mark in the engine. When in doubt, consult the owner's manual or the under-hood oil cap for the exact specification for your vehicle.
