Hello. Needing oil recommendations for my 1999 Honda Civic LX
1. 1999 Honda Civic LX D16y7 engine
2. Owners manual recommends 5w-30 or 10w-30 depending on weather conditions.
New Honda chart state's 5w-30 with 5w-20 being acceptable.
3. I live in Hattiesburg, MS
4. Driving is easy. Never above 3000 rpm's.
5. I drive short trips. About 10 miles per day for about 4-5 days per week.
6. Very minor oil leak. Not enough to notice much loss between oil changes. Does not use oil.
The car has about 225,000 miles. I've used 5w-30 since I've owned it with 180,000 miles. Not sure what was used before then. I'd like to keep this car as long as possible. I was curious to know your thoughts about 0w-20. The Honda charts state's 5w-30 with 5w-20 being acceptable. I wonder if I could use 0w-20? What do you think?
Thanks for you helps.
