Honda Civic Feels Sluggish after oil & fuel filter change

[m.hamza4]

Hi Pakwheelers,

I recently purchased a Honda civic 2017 model with 99.5K mileage. When I bought the car it was running fine without issues. After a week of my purchase, I went to Honda Avenue to get the oil and filters changed and the mechanics there told me that the fuel filter needs to be changed as well and I agreed on getting it changed.

After the work was done I returned home and noticed the car feeling a bit sluggish and heavy. The fuel average was fine but the initial acceleration felt a bit off and slow but when accelerate just a bit more, it runs fine like it used to. I'm not sure why this is or is it just my imagination?

Has this ever happened to anyone of you? Could this just be my imagination since when i accelerate just a bit more, it drives fine. I'm usually a slow driver and don't really speed much. Or could this be a new problem caused by the mechanics there or some bad products?

The work done by Honda Avenue is as below:

Oil Change | Honda Genuine SN 0W-20
Oil Filter
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Wheel Balancing
Wheel Alignment

Please feel free to share your insights. I'm very new to cars and don't really have much insights about them and this was my first ever car purchase. Please help a brother out.

Thanks.

what is the rubber tyre conditions? why wheel alignment & balancing was needed ?

if they have done it over worn out tyres thats the culprit of sluggish feel.

Could Be Due To Reset And Learning Mode....

Just Drive It To Mild RPm Low Rpm And High Rpm Time To Time For A Week And You May Feel It Better

Nothing to Worry About...

It actually looks new. They said that we need to have this done since the mileage was a bit high.

[m.hamza4]

Reset and learning mode? Can you tell me more about this?

Also, i drove today to islamabad and it more or less felt the same. I donno, maybe i'm just imagining it and i'm more conscious since its still a new car to me.

[SER_GTR]

if they remove battery terminals during service and install back

the ECU(engine control unit) reset all the previous readings . now its in learning phase and adjust as per driving style speed and engine load rpm and many factors...

If you got general tuning done, it covers idle learning and resetting ECU. The car will feel sluggish and will consume more fuel. Give it a week and it will pass.

Immediately after tuning, drive with light and heavy foot from time to time making ECU learn your driving pattern.

Makes sense. Thanks guys, this really is helpful and puts my mind to ease. I thought something was wrong and couldn't figure it out lol.

Do update us in a week about ur feel.

Could be a catalytic converter. I had to clean turbo catcon at just 60k kms by using liqui moly cat con cleaner. It can be injected from intake.
Fuel quality isn't consistent at all fuel stations.
