Engine oil – HONDA 2002 Insight - Owner's Manual User Manual

The numbers on the container’s label
tell you the oil’s viscosity or weight.
Select the oil for your car according
to this chart.
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 as shown
on the chart. When using synthetic
oil, you must follow the oil and filter
change intervals given in the
maintenance schedule.
Your Honda does not require any oil
additives. Additives may adversely
affect your engine’s or transmission’s
performance and durability.
A very low-viscosity, fuel-efficient
0W-20 oil is the preferred engine
lubricant for your Insight. This
special oil is formulated to help your
engine use less fuel. It is available at
your Honda dealer. A 5W-20 or
5W-30 oil may be used if 0W-20 is not
available.
