Depending on your temperature ranges is what you should do. It should be recommended what to use in your user manual. I use 10w30 down here in texas.

ok kool... yeah i just saw thatin the owners manual .. its says it all .. hehe .. sorry for bothering you hehe .. i should have read first

well i guess thats a lot of miles haha the high higher mileage you have the higher viscosity you want to go i.e you shuold get 10w40 of course unless you did a swap or something like that....

Well someone might need this one day thats why people need to read the owners manual it works wonders and can answer some of your basic questions

[93cord]

Forget the oil, just empty out a shitload of chapstick tubes, squeeze it all together, fill up your oil pan, and stick it back on the block. Lasts for at least 40k miles.

10dub 40 should be good. thats what i used when i hit the 150,000 mark. just to keep the engine seals well lubed.

my car has 206,500 and I recommend 10w 40 because one of my friends worked for honda and i asked him what engine oil i should use and he said to use the 10w 40 because that oil is good for the engine right now and im glad he told me that because before i use to put 20w 50 and the only reason i put that was because the guys in auto zone were telling me to put it ( last time i listen to them )but when i found out that it was to thick i was glad that i found out soon because who knows what could of happened.

Oh i have a question every how many miles should you change your transmission fluid? just to let you know i dont have the Honda Manuel i dunno what happened to it

I used 10w-30 year-round for five years in my old prelude (had it till 175,xxx miles), worked great except when it was getting near or below zero, but it still started.

I'm planning on using 5w-30 during winter in the accord from now on, to help with starting and better lubrication during warm-up.

5w-30 year-round would be good, and is usually what is recommended for most conditions. I suppose straight 30 or something would be better for racing though.

I'm farther even south than Dallas (Laredo) and I also use 10-30, but I add a quart of Lucas. It's "supposed" to run smoother!

I dont like to use additives with my oil. Supposedly they are suppose to thicken the oil or something like that. And Texas weather is just hot whenever the summer hits.
