What Type of Engine Oil is Suitable for the 10th Generation Civic?
2 Answers
The manufacturer of the 10th Generation Civic offers three types of original engine oil for consumers to choose from: 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil, 0W-20 original semi-synthetic oil, and 5W-40 original fully synthetic oil. For the 10th Generation Civic, 4 liters of engine oil is sufficient for a single refill. Fully synthetic oil is the best option, and using high-quality oil can also extend the maintenance interval. Below is an introduction to the 10th Generation Civic: 1. Features. The hidden features of the 10th Generation Civic include keyless entry and anti-pinch window functionality. Keyless entry allows the owner to open the door by simply touching the one-touch lock button on the door handle when the key is nearby, as the key's inherent frequency matches the signal emitted by the car's controller. 2. Body. The 10th Generation Civic is a model launched by Dongfeng Honda, with body dimensions of 4517mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1434mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I've been driving the 10th-gen Civic for several years, always using 0W-20 oil since it was new. Honda officially recommends this grade for its excellent fluidity and smoother engine operation, especially with faster cold starts in winter. Don't underestimate it—the lower viscosity improves fuel efficiency. My real-world tests show 1-2L savings per 100km with significantly less carbon buildup. Stick to 5,000km or 6-month oil change intervals—delaying risks premature engine wear. In northern cold climates, 0W-20 is ideal for preventing hard starts. A friend switched from 5W-30 (which spiked his fuel consumption) to 0W-20 with immediate improvement. That's why I always choose premium full-synthetic oil to maintain peak condition.
