Default what oil for a em2 2003, 104k miles

Hi all

3 months ago I bought an em2 2003 with 103k miles...

This is my firts honda so I dont know so much abouit theses cars..

I dont know who was the last owned, i got it in a dealer, so I want to make a maintenace or get the car to a good mechanic.. and I have some doutbs..

What kind or type of oil should I use?


I am living in Miami, does anyone know a good place to get the car? I want to check breaks, oil, filters...?

Should I change the timing belt at 110k miles ?

Thanks

Read the FAQ's

Use the Search feature. The topic of oil has been covered an overwhelming amount of times. Search "oil" in the thread titles of the 2001 - 2005 Honda Civic forum.

Your motor uses 5W-20 oil.



Edit: I forgot to mention; if your timing belt has not been changed yet, do it immediately.
