My new Civic recommends 0w 20, however it is a bit more expensive, especially if done at a dealership. Is there much difference between 0w 20 and 5w 20? I heard the only reason Honda uses 0w 20 is to meet the MPG guidelines.
"Honda recommends 0w 20 engine oil" means that Honda, the manufacturer of the engine, suggests using 0w 20 oil for optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
Honda recommends 0w 20 engine oil because it provides better fuel economy, improved engine performance, and increased protection against wear and tear compared to other types of oil.
While it is possible to use a different type of oil in your Honda vehicle, it is not recommended. Using 0w 20 oil is specifically chosen by Honda for a reason and using a different type of oil may result in decreased performance and potential damage to the engine.
Using 0w 20 engine oil provides several benefits such as improved fuel economy, better engine performance, increased protection against wear and tear, and a longer lifespan for your Honda engine.
You can purchase 0w 20 engine oil at any Honda dealership, automotive supply store, or online. It is important to make sure you are purchasing the correct type of oil for your specific Honda vehicle.
