Default What oil should I use for my 2018 Honda Civic Si?
Looking for oils I can use for my Si. It’ll be the first time doing the oil change on my car. Doing it myself.

As a certified service advisor from Honda and former technician i would recommend the OE oil due unless you are tracking the vehicle. No need to change oils when it has had the same oil since birth

Whatever is cheap and on sale at Walmart, of the same weight. They are all good. Oil brand is like gasoline brand. No need to overthink it.
