Not sure but 95 % of the new cars out there take 5/30 as engine oil. Safe bet to use that oil.

it depend on where you live and the weather conditions. 5w30 for the cold winter conditions, 10w30 if you are not sure is usually a safe bet. if you live in a warmer climate you may want something a little thicker. but generally 10w30 is your safest bet. kind of like a one size fits all.

it all depends on where you live if the climate is warm you want to run a heavier viscosity oil like 20/40 or straight 40 if its a colder climate you can run a 10/30 or 30

when you lift the hood on your car you should see a few stickers near the front of the car above the radiator. Read those stickers one of them should tell you the proper oil to use in your car.

5w-30 or 10w-30, it’s kind of a preference thing, based on seasons. 10W-30 is better for the winter time. 5W-30 for the summer. It holds about 4.5 quarts.

5w/30. I am a Honda Sales Consultant and I just recently delivered a Honda Civic. Also, if you lift the hood and check on the oil cap, it will tell you the weight of oil to use.
