Default Newbie Questions...

Hi I just picked up a 1995 Civic LX but I don't have the owner's manual yet (long story). So here are some questions...

1. Do you guys run 10w30 all year long or 5w30 during the winter and 10w30 during the summer?

2. what is the correct stock tire size?

3. what is the correct PSI for the tires?

Glad to be on board!

No offense but this board isn't a maintenance board. Most people here fix up their cars and will scoff at you for your post. Well, to help you out...

1. I run 10w30 all the time.
2. and 3. This should be posted in the door jamb on the drivers side. All the info you need should be right there.

I run 10w30 all the time. Its not that cold in oklahoma in the winters, weather changes here like 50 degrees in a day sometimes.
PSI is on the tire too, I usually just fill mine about 4-5 under max.
