I just bought a Honda Accord for my daughter. I told her to let me know when she’s gone 3,000 to 5,000 miles so I can change the oil. What type of oil does the Honda Accord need?
depends on the model year. If you have an Accord manufactured in 2011 or later, Honda recommends 0W-20 motor oil. If your Honda Accord was made prior to 2011, you should use SAE 5W-20 synthetic motor oil.
Once you’re done changing the oil, make sure that you take the old motor oil to a repair shop or recommended disposal business to avoid groundwater contamination.
