* For 4-cylinder engines: SAE 5W-20 API-certified oil meeting ILSAC GF-4 or GF-5 requirement.
* For V6 engines: SAE 5W-30 API-certified oil meeting ILSAC GF-4 or GF-5 requirement.
Here are some additional oil recommendations from Honda:
* Use only genuine Honda oil filters or equivalent filters that meet Honda specifications.
* Change the oil and oil filter every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
* If the vehicle is operated in severe conditions, such as frequent short trips, stop-and-go driving, or dusty or dirty conditions, change the oil and oil filter more frequently.
Additional tips for choosing the right engine oil for your Honda Accord:
* Consider the climate in which you live. If you live in a cold climate, you will need an oil that has a lower viscosity (thinner) to ensure proper engine lubrication.
* If your car is under warranty, use only the engine oil recommended by the manufacturer. Otherwise, you can choose an oil that meets or exceeds the manufacturer's specifications for the API, ILSAC, and ACEA ratings.
* Avoid using recycled oil or oil that is not specifically formulated for your vehicle.
