Any engine oil is OK to use in accord (96 EXR) or is there any specific. Suggestion appreciated.

 

just follow your manufacture instruction
I think it's 10w-30

 

use 5w-30 since your in canada

 

5w30 recommended here. 10w30 was like only for 92-96 h22a prelude VTEC motors here in the US.

 

my 98 accord ex vtec takes 10w-30

 

really? i thought honda switched to 5w20 for 6th gens? or was it a later year?

but in any case, its ok to use 10w30 if you want, 5w30 too, or 5w20 if you have a newer honda/acura and its recommended. i just posted the honda recommendations.

Yea, Honda reccomends 5w20 for 1998 and newer Accords.

Um... The owners manual for my '98 says 5w-30 or 10w-30 depending on climate.

 

my 5th gen takes 5w-30. i also use castrol or penzoil conventional oils. i would use synthetic but i change the oil every 1500 miles to keep it clean so it is not cost effective for me to pay 30 ***** every 1500 miles for synthetic vs 15 ***** for a whole case of conventional

 

I use 5-30 winter and 10-30 summer.

castrol or mobil blend.

Yup, here's Hondas new recommendations from their september 2000 service news. 98 and newer Accords and 96 and newer Civics are the only changes.

 

5w-30, 10w-30...doesn't matter, same shyt.
