Engine Oil

The API Service label also tells you

the service classification of the oil.

Always use an oil that is labeled "API

Service SJ." This service rating may

include other classifications, such as

CD. These additional classifications

are not a problem, as long as the

label also carries the SJ classification.

API SERVICE LABEL

The oil container may also display

the API Certification seal. Make sure

it says "For Gasoline Engines."

API CERTIFICATION SEAL

The SAE numbers tell you the oil's

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 temperature in your area never

goes below 20°F ( — 7°C).
