What is a 2003 Honda Civic’s oil type?

My roommate let me use his car while he’s been out of town for a few months, and I want to return it to him in tip top condition with a fresh oil change. What’s the oil type of a 2003 Honda Civic?

What nice roomies you two are! We should all be so lucky.
The oil type of the trusty 2003
Honda Civic
is 5W-20. It’s important to use the correct weight, as using the wrong stuff can cause severe (and expensive) engine damage.
Synthetic oil is fine to use, as long as the bottle has the seal of the American Petroleum Institute (API) on it.
