amysabato Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi! I have been taking my Honda Civic 2013 to the dealership since I bought it for oil changes. They say they can only use synthetic (forgot which number..maybe W20?? - not sure). I have been doing this consistently every 3,000 miles. I took it to my mechanic once (more convenient) and he put in half synthetic and half regular oil. I am in stop and go traffic MORE often than not M-F. Please WHICH is the best kind of oil for the care of the car, and less problems in the future - synthetic, half and half, or regular please? My car presently has 52,000 approximately. I drive to work M-F - stop and go and weekends leisure drives anywhere from 5 miles to 180 miles on Sat and/or Sunday total. Thank you in advance.

HondaPartsConnection Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The factory fill oil was Synthetic Blend 5W20. A few years ago American Honda released a statement saying that 0w20 synthetic blend OR Full synthetic was ok for your car. 0w20 might even increase your fuel mileage slightly. Either 5w20 or 0w20 weight is fine. Hope this helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
