Wanted to ask and see what type and weight oil everyone is using. I just bought a '96 Accord EX w/ 2.2L VTEC with 150,000 miles on it any suggestions on what to use.

 

I think I'm about to use pennzoil? 10w30. I got 5 gallons and a filter from autozone for like 20$.

 

conventional Pennzoil special fromautozone like zak but with 5w-30.

 

You're supposed to run 5w-30 there Zak. Royal Purple in my Accord, Castrol GTX in my other cars.

 

5w30 Pennzoil Synthetic. I've used the high mileage oil in my previous car and platinum synthetic in my current accord w/ no problems. Sometimes you can find the 5 quart jug on sale at wal-mart. Avoid cheap oil filters like fram ones, I usually go for a purolator or wix aka napa gold.

 

as long as they have the API seal of approval, IMO it's all the same ****.

 

I've heard Penzoil is junk. BUT I have no real experience with it.

I sure hope you mean brands and not synthetic to natural.

 

I want 5 Gallons of oil for 20 dollars no fair.........hah.

 

For real? The idiot at autozone told me 10w30. Dammit. Guess I can go return that now

 

Penzoil is one of the brands I used for 30 years. No difference. Oil is oil. Use it, change it, and don't over analyze it.

 

It's printed on the oil cap?

 

my oil cap does not indicate which oil to use.

You can use 10w-30 but 5w-30 is best

 

yes, I meant brands.

 

That's an OEM cap

 

I have seen them but this accord I own, and the prior one had no markings.
