I advise you not to use synthetic oil. You should change your oil every
3000 miles if you do a lot of city driving. If you rarely drive in the
city, you should change it every 5000 miles.

Use the type of oil listed in the owner's manual or ask the service
manager at the local Honda dealership what type of oil you should use in
your car.
