What oil should I use for an oil change on a 2001 Honda Civic EX?

I own a 2001 Honda Civ EX and a label under the hood of my car says to use Synthetic PAG oil. Is there a benefit to this? If so what benefit as oppose to using regular motor oil?What oil should I use for an oil change on a 2001 Honda Civic EX?Be careful!!! PAG oil is a special oil used to lubricate your car鈥檚 air-conditioner components! It is not for your engine!



However, for your engine, you can use multi grade engine oils like (10W-40 semi synthetic) or (15w-50 full synthetic) Those are oil grades, not brands. You choose the brand you like. "Mobil" brand for example is excellent.What oil should I use for an oil change on a 2001 Honda Civic EX?

any 10 w 30 or 10 w 40...regular,,synthetic..or semi...i use castrol GTX..but any good name oil will do.What oil should I use for an oil change on a 2001 Honda Civic EX?Did the label come from Honda or from an oil change joint that the former owner used. I would go to the owners manual rather than believe a sticker under my hood.....You could contact a Honda dealer or there are plenty of Honda owners chat rooms on the net that could help you.



My grandmother once said..Don't believe what you read and only half of what you see.
