Do I use 20/40 oil in a 03 honda civic coupe 17 v-tec? - 1

Hi 20/50w would be better in such an old car.

No, Honda recommends the use of 5W-20 in your 2003 Honda Civic 1.7L 4 -cyl.

What's it say on the oil filler cap? 5w 20w? 10w 20w? I know it's not 40w. Call Advance Auto and have them look it up for you.
Do you know all Honda's have trouble with valves getting tight and the valves need adjusting every 60,000 miles?

Only if the engine is tired and has done a higher milage

NO, do not use 20w-40. Use SAE 5w-20 High Mileage oil.

  • 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?
  • Which car is better 2016 Honda Civic coupe or 2016 Hyundai Genesis coupe? I'm looking for a new car and these two are the only cars that fit my budge as a sporty car. The Honda Civic has a v cylinder engin and Genesis has v6. Civic offers Apple car play whereas Genesis does not… They both have many pors and cons to them and I can't decide which one is better and worthwhile… Please I need opinions!
  • Oil Change: Honda Motor Oil Vs Generic oil, does it make a difference? I have been getting oil changes with Honda motor oil for 15 years on my 2002 civic that now has 132K miles. If I switch to a generic $10 oil change garage shop will it still be ok? I know the Honda filters are better then the cheapest generic ones but how about the actual motor oil?
  • Infinit g35 coupe or honda civic si coupe? Hello i'm from california and going to turn 21 in july and wanted to buy my first car. I'm deciding between the infiniti g35 coupe (05-07) model or the honda civic si coupe (07-09) model. I want the g35 because everyone has a honda civic si and I want to stand out but I want the honda civic si because it is very reliable which is probably why alot of people have one. Will the infiniti last me enough to enjoy it or will it just be a waste of money… Please help
