FULLY SENTETACHIC OIL ,VERY GOOD FOR ENGINE WITH ALOT OF MILES KMS UP

5w 30 or 10w 30 during the winter. After an oil change... check your oil after 200-300 miles of use. Is the level the same? If so your weight is fine. If it drops, it's to light of an oil and your engine is now "drinking it" like fuel, move to a heavier weight. As far as Changing between winter and summer. Changing Oil weights is not bad for your motor so if the winter you go with 5w 30 and it works, great, shoot for the same during the summer. If it seems to "drink it" during the summer using this weight, go up to the next (10w 30)

That being said. Changing from natural oil, to synthetic, back to naturual , or vice versa... swapping back and forth between these KINDS of oil has been known to cause damage. so whatever weight you decide on, stick with one "type", natural or synthetic.

If your engine is a 4.0 it uses 5w-30
If your engine is a 5.0 it uses 10w-30

use a good 5w-30 oil, and replace the filter

I have a 96 accord, same motor, my recommendations on this model are 2 different kinds, 5w-30 or 10w-30. the 5W-30 is the preferred. as for which brand, I choose to go with Penzoil synthetic or synthetic blend. both are a little more expensive than regular oil. Castrol is another great choice and Valvoline has a high mileage oil out on the market. Stick with a 5W-30 and choose your brand. Good Luck!

you can use 10w 30.if you live in a warm or hot climate.if you live in a colder climate.you use 5w -30 oil.

5w-30

10w-30 or 5w-30 regular oil it should also say right on the fill cap if it is an OEM part

96 stratus = 5W - 30
