HONDA 2007 Accord Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 236)

Honda Motor Oil is the preferred
5W-
20 lubricant for your vehicle. It is
highly recommended that you use
Honda Motor Oil in your vehicle for
optimum engine protection. Make
sure the API Certification Seal says
‘‘For Gasoline Engines.’’
Your vehicle does not require any oil
additives. Additives may adversely
affect the engine or transmission
performance and durability.
The oil viscosity or weight is
provided on the container’s label.
5W-
20 oil is formulated for year-
round protection of your vehicle to
improve cold weather starting and
fuel economy.
You may use a synthetic motor oil if
it meets the same requirements
given for a conventional motor oil: it
displays the API certification seal,
and it is the proper weight. You must
follow the oil and filter change
intervals shown on the information
display. Always change the oil and filter
according to the maintenance
messages shown on the information
display. The oil and filter collect
contaminants that can damage your
engine if they are not removed
regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the vehicle. The vehicle
should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and
proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
mechanic.
Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off. 1 .
