What kind of oil to pour into honda civic 4d

More than 12 years have passed since the presentation of the then new Honda Civic in Japan, and the question of what oil to pour into the Honda Civic 4D is still relevant today.

Vehicle supplied to Russian market in its configuration it had an engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters and a power of 140 hp.

The package included both mechanical and automatic transmission transmission As Honda representatives stated, the latest technologies from racing models were used when developing the engine to obtain maximum dynamics and economical consumption fuel.

What is the best oil to pour into a Honda Civic?

To fully answer the question what better oil pour into a Honda Civic, consider the manufacturer’s recommendations:

If the car is equipped with an oil level sensor, the manufacturer does not recommend using oil with a viscosity of 15w-40.

Not every owner can afford to purchase original oil, and sometimes you simply cannot find it in the city. We have prepared a list of commonly used oils in the Honda civic 4d engine of various brands and this is what happened:

Engine oil volume Honda Civic 4D

The engine oil change service volume is 3.7 liters including the oil filter volume.

The total volume of oil in the engine is 4.5 liters.

Honda Civic engine oil level

There are no specific statistics on oil consumption in a Civic engine; it is different for everyone and on average is in the range of 250-550 grams per 1000 km. Representatives of the brand indicate that consumption is up to 1 liter per 1000 km. considered acceptable for this engine model.

Do not forget that correctly used oil has a positive effect on the life of the car engine. This article on the topic of what oil to pour into a Honda Civic 4D was prepared using general information from the Honda Civic owners forum and open sources recommendations of oil manufacturers.

Some engine models running on motor lubricant with identical characteristics exhibit different parameters. And this fact must be taken into account when choosing oil for a Honda car engine. In addition, the Japanese automaker indicates tolerances and specifications in the operating instructions, according to which it is recommended to fill in oils corresponding to categories SJ, SL, SM.

The parameters of different brands of lubricants differ from each other. Each type has certain properties and characteristics. For Honda cars, the automaker recommends using compounds with viscosities of 5w30, 10w30, 5w20, 0w20, depending on the climate.

Choosing oil for a Japanese car

When choosing what to pour into a Honda engine, you need to take into account its current condition. If it is worn out and the mileage has exceeded 100,000 km, then it is preferable to fill in oil according to the service instructions, with a viscosity of 0w20 and 5w30.

With a mileage over 120,000, it is optimal to pour 5w40 compounds. However, such a product may only be suitable for those car models that have timing belts installed.

If the motor system is equipped with a chain mechanism, then it is better to use branded oils from the manufacturer or alternative analogues that meet Honda approvals.

On a note! Some types of oils are not suitable for Honda vehicles, even though they comply technical characteristics and viscosity parameters. For example, Castrol and Shell motor oils burn out in motor system Honda.

This is due to the fact that for power units Japanese cars characterized by a large amount of waste. Therefore, it is recommended to use Liquid Moly or Mobile.

Conclusion

The manufacturer of Honda Civic insists on using original motor oils throughout the entire operational period of the vehicle. The recommended engine oil for Honda Civic stabilizes engine performance and extends its service life. When selecting a lubricant, you need to take into account the thickness of the oil and the tolerances on the canister. For winter, pour more fluid oil than for summer. All-season lubricants should be used at moderate temperatures outside the car.

The oil base plays an important role when selecting a lubricant. Synthetics and semi-synthetics are purchased to operate the car at very high or low temperatures. Mineral motor oil is not capable of operating in a wide temperature range; it is poured for moderate operating temperatures.

(Belyalov Reshat)

The operation of engines of certain car brands with the same brands of oil may differ. Some engines respond well to certain oils, while others show less encouraging results.

When choosing oil for Honda cars, it is worth noting important criteria. The manufacturer itself recommends fluid classes SL, SJ, SM. Each lubricating fluid corresponds to certain parameters. The Honda manufacturer recommends using motor oils with viscosity parameters 0w20, 5w20, 5w30 and 10w30 for its engines. Let's take a closer look at what each of the parameters means.

In the inscription 5w20 - the first digit “5” is an indicator of the viscosity of the oil in frosty weather. The lower this figure, the greater the fluidity of the liquid in negative temperature conditions. For comparison: oils with 0w20 values ​​begin to thicken at temperatures from -42 to -45C 0 . The same thing happens with liquids that have a reading of 10w30 at temperatures from -35 C 0. When a lubricant becomes thick, it loses its performance properties.

The second digit “20” determines the viscosity of the oil at high temperatures. The higher the number, the higher the temperature at which the oil viscosity remains normalized.

Honda also depends on engine wear. For engines whose mileage has not yet exceeded 100,000 kilometers, it is still worth filling in oils with the parameters recommended by the manufacturer - 5w30 or 0w20. For engines that have exceeded this limit, it is better to pour oils with a higher second parameter, for example, 5w40.

However, this applies to motors operating with timing belt. For chain construction they remain relevant even for long runs.

An important reason why certain brands of motors do not work well with Hondas is burnout.

“Flammable” liquids include such as Shell, Castrol, and oils from domestic manufacturers. Not because they are of poor quality, but precisely because of the high percentage of waste in Honda engines. The highest compatibility indicators were for oils from Mobil 1 and LiquiMoly.

One of the options when carefully selecting motor oils for Honda cars is to consult a specialist who carries out technical diagnostics your car. You can also check the details with official dealer your brand.
