Regardless of which engine it has, your 2007 Honda Accord will have an engine oil capacity of 4.2 quarts without the filter—but the V6 engine uses slightly larger filters.

The Honda Accord started its eighth generation of models for the 2007 model year, and the lineup included a new hybrid option paired with the V6 engine upgrade. The Accord was also available as a coupe or a sedan, and both manual and automatic transmissions were available as well. Luckily, engine oil types and capacities are the same across all trims of the 2007 Honda Accord.

It’s always a good idea to thoroughly consult your owner’s manual before performing maintenance on your vehicle. If you need a quick briefing on changing your 2007 Honda Accord’s oil,

2007 Honda Accord engine oil capacity

Your 2007 Honda Accord’s 4-cylinder engines all have an oil capacity of 4.4 quarts. Upgraded Accord V6 engines have an oil capacity of 4.5 quarts.

This capacity has nothing to do with your engine’s displacement, which is often measured in liters or cubic centimeters.

What kind of oil does a 2007 Honda Accord need?

Okay, so we know how much oil you need, but what kind of oil should you be using on your 2007 Honda Accord?

The Accord's owner manual recommends using premium-grade 5W-20 Genuine Honda Motor Oil.

Ever wondered why we name oil types the way we do? The numbers represent the oil’s viscosity—or “thickness”—at different ends of a temperature spectrum. The “W” stands for winter, and the 0 is the oil’s viscosity rating at the temperature, meaning this particular oil is very thin at low temperatures. The second number is the engine’s viscosity rating at about 212 degrees fahrenheit, or the normal operating temperature of your engine.

Thinner oil will cause less wear and tear to your engine, but thicker oil is often better for older engines or engines with larger clearances between the various moving parts of the engine. Either way, be sure you always use the exact oil type recommended for your vehicle.

You don’t need to use synthetic oil, but it will likely last longer before needing to be changed than conventional oil, and may also improve performance.

How often to change the oil on a 2007 Honda Accord

Fantastic! You have everything you need to give your 2007 Honda Accord an

oil change

Well just hold on there, Ferruccio, because you don’t want to waste perfectly good oil by doing your oil change too early!

A 2007 Honda Accord needs to have its oil changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on what sort of oil you’re using. You could extend this life even longer by using synthetic oil, which is synthetically formulated out of crude oil using various additives.

You should still check your oil at least once every month as part of your

basic car maintenance schedule

. Here are some symptoms to look out for to indicate you’re past due for an oil change:

Oil is dark brown/black, rather than transparent with an amber/yellow tint.

The oil feels dirty and coarse.

Your engine is making unfamiliar noises or producing unfamiliar smells

You’ve noticed a reduction in overall engine performance.

How to change your oil and oil filter

If it turns out that you do need an oil change, then now’s probably as good a time as any. You’re going to need the following supplies:

Socket wrench

Drain pan

Filter wrench

Replacement oil filter

4.4 quarts of 5W-20 Honda Genuine motor oil

Rags (it could get messy)

Start the oil change by letting your engine run for about 5 minutes. This will warm up the oil, allowing for faster drainage. Turn the engine off again, then follow these steps:

Unscrew/remove the oil fill cap.

Figure out how to get underneath your engine, and position your drain pan below the oil drain so it will be able to catch the draining oil

Now get ready, because the oil might flow quickly. When you’re ready, remove the oil drain bolt and washer, and your engine oil will start draining!

When the draining starts slowing down, remove the old oil filter.

Install the new filter, according to manufacturer’s instructions

Put the oil drain bolt back on with a new washer, tightening it to 29 lb-ft.

Finally, fill your engine with the correct amount of oil

You’re almost done! Make sure to check your oil level using your dipstick to ensure that you put the ideal amount of oil in. And don’t forget to store your old oil in a sealed container so it can be recycled at your local recycling facility.

After changing your oil, it’s a good idea to turn on your car and let your engine run for about 30 seconds before you check the oil level. This will give you a more accurate measurement, and you’ll be able to top it off if necessary.

Don’t forget regular insurance policy maintenance

If all went swimmingly, you’ve likely just saved yourself some money and time by avoiding a commercial oil change.
