* Engine Size: The LXi came with either a 1.8L or a 2.0L engine. Different engines have different oil requirements.
* Oil Type: The owner's manual for your car will specify the type of oil you need, whether it's conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic.
* Oil Viscosity: This is the "weight" of the oil, and it also depends on your engine and the climate you live in.
Here's how to find the right oil for your car:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for specific oil recommendations for your 1989 Honda Accord LXi. It will detail the type of oil, viscosity, and any other specific requirements.
2. Check the oil cap: The oil cap often has a sticker with information about the recommended oil type and viscosity.
3. Look up your engine specifications: You can find this information online using the year, make, and model of your car.
4. Consult a mechanic: If you're unsure about the oil specifications, a mechanic can help you determine the correct oil for your car.
Important notes:
* Always use the recommended oil type and viscosity for your car. Using the wrong oil can lead to engine damage.
* Change your oil regularly according to the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual.
Once you have the information from your owner's manual or other reliable sources, you can easily find the correct engine oil at your local auto parts store or online.
