What is the 2014 Honda Civic oil type?

I just bought a 2014 Honda Civic for my wife. She loves it so far, but to keep the car in tip-top condition, I want to change the oil myself on a regular basis. What’s the oil type for a 2014 Honda Civic?

A 2014
Honda Civic’s
oil type is 0W-20 motor oil. For the best performance and fuel economy, stick to this recommendation.
When Honda upgraded engines across the board in 2011, it also updated its recommendations to 0W-20, although 5W-20 motor oil is also approved by Honda.
The amount of oil you need to successfully complete an oil change depends on what lies under the hood of your 2014 Honda Civic:
  • If you have the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, you need 3.9 quarts of motor oil.
  • If you have the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, you’ll require 4.4 quarts of motor oil.
Full synthetic oil is preferred for the 2014 Honda Civic, although conventional motor oil or a blend is also acceptable. 
Keep in mind: Blends or conventional oil will last around 3,000 to 5,000 miles while full synthetic will take you around 7,500 miles between oil changes.
