First Post, First Time Civic Owner

[HondaTRX450RCivic]

I just picked up my civic yesterday. Its a 2004 LX with 46,000 miles. I live in upstate NY and paid a little over $14,000 for it. Not the best deal in the world but civics go for a good coin around here, I am happy with it so far. This is my second Honda if you count my TRX450R. I have always been a mopar owner my other vehicle is a Jeep grand Cherokee with 2" lift and 30" tires. Not great on gas mileage as you can imagine that is why I bought the Civic, I will be saving $100 a week in gas.

I have read through some of the FAQS, and did some searching. Is there anything you can suggest to me as a first time Civic owner. Anything that should be serviced, watched out for, or upgraded? I have a 60 day warranty so if something is going to g wrong hopefully it will happen in the next 60 days.

My first question is a dumb one but I think the deal ship over filled my oil by A LOT! I assume the oil is checked like any other car, level ground, motor off and cool, the bottom dot/hole is the oil low mark and the top dot/hole is the high mark. Well the oil lever extends almost an inch over the top dot/hole, do you think this will cause any problems.

I'd take it back to the dealer and have the problem fixed. Sounds like they added an extra quart.

ya take it back, shouldnt be that much of a problem unless its way over filled, but they should fix it for free, so why not
