The numbers in the middle tell you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight.
Select the oil for your car according to this chart:
An oil with a viscosity of 5W-30 is preferred for improved fuel economy
and year-round protection in your Honda. You may use a 10W-30 oil
if the climate in your area is limited to the temperature range shown
on the chart.
A fuel-efficient oil is recommended for your Honda. This is shown on
the API Service label by the words "Energy Conserving I I . " This oil
is formulated to help your engine use less fuel.
The API Service label also tells you the service classification of the oil.
Always use an oil that says "API Service SG." This service rating may
also include other designations, such as CD. These additional
classifications are not a problem, as long as the label also carries the
SG classification. An oil that is only classified SF is not recommended.
Changing Oil and Filter
Engine oil and the filter should be changed together every 6 months
or 7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever comes first. The filter is located
on the engine block, below the intake manifold.
CAUTION: The oil filter cannot easily be removed from above the
engine. For this reason, it is recommended that the oil filter change
be done by a skilled mechanic.
1. Start the car and run the engine
until it reaches normal operating
temperatures, then shut it off.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap and
drain bolt, and drain the oil.
