What kind of oil does a 2008 Honda Accord take?

I have an older Honda Accord (2008). I know that newer cars require synthetic oil, but I am not sure about my car in particular. What kind of oil does a 2008 Honda Accord take?

A 2008 Honda Accord takes 5W-30 engine oil. You can use synthetic, synthetic-blend, or conventional oil for this car.
As long as you are using 5W-30 engine oil, the choice between synthetic or conventional oils is up to you. As long as your
Accord
 is running smoothly without smoking or burning smells, 5W-30 engine oil should be what you choose for the lifetime of your car.
