94 Civic dx 16 valve non vtec. What oil viscosity do y'all use and what brand? Also how many quarts of oil for an oil change? I'm going to be switching to full synthetic. I'm sorry if this is a repeat post, I'm new to this forum and this vehicle is new to me. Thank you!

 

What's wrong with 10W30?

 

Nothing lol. I just went with 5w30 Mobil 1 full synthetic. How many quarts does it call for?

 

I use 5w30 mobil 1 full synthetic high mileage, with a k&n filter & some lucas oil stabilizer, 3 1/2 quarts is what is called for so buy 4 quarts & a decent filter. bosch, & purolater is also good brands, I'd recommend 10-30 for summer time if you live in the south!

 

used to be in Texas with the military but now I'm back home in jersey ugh I miss living down sound. Been to Texas and the Carolinas and all over down there. This place sucks lol. I went with Mobil one 5w30, and a Mobil 1 filter.

 

ah man i hear that! Florida here so it's basically iraq weather all year long haha mobil 1 is good stuff I've been running it for 3 years now without a problem you should be squared away with that set upalso if the car is new to you it's a good time to also change the transmission fluid all you need is a 3/8 ratchet & a 17mm it's literally 2 bolts and a good thing to check while your at it, i go with penzoil syncromesh and a long plastic tube about 1/2'' wide to fill it that'll take about 3 bottles but it's good to have peace of mind to know its fresh fluids
