Hi,

I have a 2015 Honda Civic LX Sedan CVT Automatic 1.8 Liter 4 cyclinder, live in sunny San Diego, California, and drive 80% highway miles. I searched the threads, but couldn't find a straightforward answer to these q's.

1. Should I replace the battery with the OEM battery or a 3rd party part?
2. Would you trust this type of install to a private shop or dealer only? *I don't want to do it myself even though I'm aware it would be a joke for most of you.

3. Is wiping with a damp towel (h20 only) ok for monthly corrosion maintenance, and is grease on the terminals a good way to prevent corrosion or can that cause other probs?

Thank you for your opinion, this forum is a beast!
