The last time I took my car to one of those quick oil changing place, they screw back a different NUT from some other car but that was on my previous old car.

Civic's engine is made of Aluminum alloy... if they replace it with a steel NUT, it could damage the thread. Also, our civic uses a washer too which Honda recommend replacing on every oil change. I now do my own oil change.
