Honda civic DX 2005 oil that should use
I have a Honda civic 2005, and Does not matter if the engine is new or old with more than 200,000 mileages the oil always should be 5w-20?????
Here the mechanics say that should be a more viscosity like 10w-30 or some like that because the engine is not new, is that right??

It depends, are you using oil when you use the 5w20, if not keep using the same oil if you are using oil then up the viscosity. 94

I mean burning oil, not leaking oil.
If oil is leaking it really makes no difference what the viscosity is, but if your burning a little oil, [like on an engine with high mileage] then a thicker viscosity can help. 94
