What kind of oil is suitable for Civic?

[MacArianna]

Honda Civic is suitable for using 0W20 synthetic oil. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose from brands such as Mobil, Shell, Castrol, Great Wall, Tongyi, Kunlun, etc. The official recommendation for Civic is 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil, 0W-20 semi-synthetic oil, and 5W-40 semi-synthetic oil. Honda Civic 1.0T and 1.5T models are suitable for 0W20 synthetic oil, with a replacement cycle of 10,000 kilometers. The 4S store recommends the black barrel SP-GF6A 020. If you don't use the original oil, the maintenance manual recommends using other brand oils that meet ACEA-C2C3 0W20 level, requiring SP level oil, and 5W30 level oil needs to meet C3 standard. The viscosity of the oil will change with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand -30°C low temperature. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making the car's cold start smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better the oil can maintain viscosity at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the oil in a Civic car is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop and for the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and use an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to flow out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, usually filling about three-quarters of a barrel; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for oil leaks at the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, they should be repaired; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil is within the standard range.
