Take it back and have them put in the oil that your owners manual calls for. Don't take NO for an answer. Your warranty depends on it.
No… When a newer car has 0w-20w on the oil filler cap that's what it takes. Thicker oil won't protect at start up and is too thick for the hydraulic lifters.
make them put the correct oil in your motor.
If you have the variable cam engine, using the right viscosity is very important.
No. If it's the wrong viscosity, it's going to give you a lot of engine problems down the road.
No, it is not! If you have a major engine problem for almost any reason the use of 10W-30 is more than enough reason to deny you warranty coverage.
Your car has variable valve timing. The 0W-20 oil is critical for proper operation of that system. Put the correct oil in your Accord. And you do not want your warranty voided because you used the wrong oil.
Hi so what about the other fact it is no longer mineral oil. It is a synthetic oil this fact seems you have missed. Why as it is todays modern oils which perform better a honda does not burn oil like an old mustang so needs less oil. And thinner oil synthetic is superior.
Change it immediately. That's why I always do it myself!
If thats what the owners manual says then its ok but if not tell them to change it to the correct oil cuz is could cause damage in the long run
- If in the owners manual it says I should use 5W-20 motor oil, can I use 10W-40 motor oil instead? I have a 2009 Honda Fit. I just recently bought 10W-40 and when I got home to put oil in the manual said 5W-20. What's the difference? And is it okay if I still use the 10W-40?
- I took my '12 honda civic in for an oil change. They put in 5w-20 instead of 0w-20.will my car be ok? I took my '12 honda civic in for an oil change. They put in 5w-20 instead of 0w-20. Will my car be ok?
- After full service in shop car still stalls? Had honda serviced but it still stalls, sadly it never stalls when they test drive it. Only does it with me. Everything was sercived filters spark plugs everything. No codes on computer popping up either. What could this stalling be then?
- Taking my car into the shop for the first time (my first car and first time at a shop)? Recently acquired a 1999 Honda Accord for $1500 with only 160k. Runs great but my dad checked car and said oil is low and then proceeded to check the rest of the car and said all my fluids need to be replaced. What does that mean and what is the price for fixing this? I want to go to the shop with some sort of understanding of the prices so I know if I'm being ripped off or not.
