What Oil and how much does my car need?

1997 Honda Civic LX d16y7 engine.What Oil and how much does my car need?
5w30 five quarts ad four and check til fullWhat Oil and how much does my car need?
Open the glove compartment and dig out the owner's manual. That information is in there.





Or Google your car and look up the information directly. Honda may even have a downloadable version of the owner's manual which you can then keep in your computer, if the original manual is gone.
I'm a big fan of castrol synthetic oil and if you plan on keeping your car a long time i would throw a some lucas oil treatment in... as for how much oil it takes i got no idea... but any parts store can tell you that.



the 1.6 liter engine holds 4.75 unless it is a vtec motor, in that case it holds 4.5.
pop the hood and there should be a little sticker somewhere that says how much and what kind(use the dip stick lots if you dont realy know what you are doing)
Four cylinders hold 4 quarts of 10w30 oil.
