My gsr is steel, but I think some civics come with aluminum. put a magnet to it and if it sticks, get a steel bung. If not then get an aluminum.

i think you can, but it takes longer and is harder, but i am not a welder so i might be wrong.
Just for you, i put a small magnet to it and it stuck, so i guess that means it is steel. i have a 2000 civic si

you cannot weld aluminum to steel. you have to get the type of bung that is the same metal as your oil pan.
