AnlbielltTertlperature
An
oil
with a viscosity of
lOW-30
is
preferred for improved fuel economy
and year-round protection in your
Honda.
You may use a
5W-40
oil
if
the temperature
in
your area goes
below oaF (
-20°C).
Synthetic Oil
You may use a synthetic motor
oil
if
it meets the same requirements
given for conventional motor
oil:
energy conserving, a service
classification of
SJ,
and the proper
weight as shown on the chart. When
using synthetic
oil,
you must follow
the
oil
and filter change intervals
given
in
the
maintenance schedule.
Additives
Your Honda does not need any
oil
additives. Purchasing additives for
the engine or transmission will not
increase your car's performance or
longevity.
It
only increases the cost
of operating your car.
