What kind of engine oil should be used for Civic minor maintenance?
1 Answers
For Honda Civic maintenance at the original factory, the original fully synthetic engine oil can be used. If you perform maintenance yourself, you can choose according to your needs. Selection of engine oil: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively general requirements for oil quality, and mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. If the owner has a higher budget, fully synthetic oil can be adopted. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate in harsher conditions, requiring higher performance from the oil. They need oil with better fluidity, and fully synthetic oil is recommended. Brand selection: For the selection of lubricant brands, if you prioritize the long-lasting performance of the oil, you can choose Mobil lubricants; if you value the cleaning ability of the oil for the engine, Shell oil is recommended; if you need lubricants with strong oil film toughness, you can opt for Castrol. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell oil with strong cleaning ability can be selected.
