Honda Civic engine oil types

There are two types of engine oil: conventional and synthetic. Lately, Honda Civic owners have been choosing synthetic motor oil simply because of its quality and good molecular consistency.

Synthetic motor oil for Honda Civic has an improved molecular formula, is virtually non-oxidizing, does not react (for example with engine seals), has improved viscosity and does not oxidize either.

Synthetic oils for Honda Civic contain numerous additives that help improve engine compression and reduce fuel consumption. Winter starting is much easier because the oil doesn’t thicken as much at low temperatures.

The only disadvantage of synthetic oil is its high price compared to conventional oil. We recommend using synthetic motor oil in newer Honda Civic models and synthetic motor oil in older Honda Civic models.
