--^ I didn't know that. Should i use 5w30? i have a 95 ex

 

w/e jiffy lube puts into my car.. i just got one yesterday.. i was about 1000 miles over my due date. I know I should do it myself but idk how and dont feel like messing up the car trying to.

 

Um, my gen 6 civic says it takes 5w-30...in the manual and on the cap.

I started using regular dino oil and so I didnt switch over to synthetic. Heard you can get leaks if you've been running regular oil for many miles and make the switch over to synthetic.

I guess a lot of people will say save your money, just buy regular 5w-30 and make sure you change oil/filter every 3K, but I've been running Castrol GTX High Mileage Oil and a purolator pure one oil filter in my civic (248,000 miles) and my Jeep (145,000 miles) for awhile now. Still original engines, knock on wood, neither burn oil and they're still running strong....

 

i use 5w30 olive oil...lol. but i use castrol synthetic.

 

I would suggest doing it yourself since you have no clue what kind of oil they are putting into your car. It's very simple and you'll save yourself money and know its getting done right.

 

^ idk what tools i would need or what type of oil to buy/put in.. i know there are DIY's but actuallyDOING IT MYSELF is different.. i dont trust myself

 

5w30 full synthetic in winter
10w30 full synthetic in summer, sometimes, depends on price.

 

The cap on my oil crankcase says 5w 30 and it's a 6th gen.

 

I must be mistaken...

 

5w30 because thats what it says on my D16Y7's cap.
My dad always used Quaker State oil in his cars, so thats what I use. Seems to be good stuff.
Is it a good idea to go to the Honda dealer and get factory filters, or are all oil filters pretty much the same other than the premium ones like K&N?
