What type of engine oil should be used for the 10th-generation Accord 260?
1 Answers
Honda's 1.5T engine in the 10th-generation Accord 260 requires synthetic engine oil with specifications of 0W-20 or 5W-30 for maintenance. For new vehicles, 0W-20 engine oil viscosity is more suitable as it helps reduce fuel consumption and engine resistance. The classification of engine oil types is as follows: 1. High-temperature type (e.g., SAE20-SAE50): The number indicates the viscosity at 100°C, with higher numbers representing higher viscosity; 2. Low-temperature type (e.g., SAE0W-SAE25W): The "W" stands for winter use only, and lower numbers indicate lower viscosity and better low-temperature fluidity; 3. All-season type (e.g., SAE15W/40, 10W/40, 5W/50): The viscosity grade at low temperatures meets the requirements of SAE15W, 10W, or 5W respectively, while the high-temperature viscosity grade meets SAE40 or 50 requirements, making it suitable for both winter and summer use.
