[bryanfury]

Hi i am recently pround owner of Honda accord for european market 2.4 petrol manual gearbox , year 2011 8th generation before face lift, with engine k24z3 ,
I wonder, what is the best possible oil for european market and 150k miles engine?

I live in europe and car have 150k miles already from previous owners,
car doesnt have very regular oil maitenance some oil changes from previous/ owner/s were at around 30k, i dont know what engine oil was used...
some of the oil change intervals were between 2-3 years so..

Please advice me as far as i understand for such engine 0w 20 will be worst possible option, so what are my options should i stick with 5w 30 or something else please advice thanks.

What does Honda recommend for your car? Do you have a manual with the car? You need to get the correct specification of oil as well as the viscosity.

Honda - reccomends 0w 20, 0w 30, 0w 40, 5w 30 and others.. so i am very confused.

That’s the viscosity they recommend. What is the specification? Will be something like C2/C3 or A5. This is the important part.

i dont have the specs only viscosity...

My recommendation will be a 0W-30 A5 oil (probably labelled as A5/B5)

I drive an euro 2012 Accord CW2 (same engine). Book says anything from 0w20 to 10w30 in A3B4 or A5B5.
Personally using a 0w30 A3B4, real full synthetic (found a godd price) but I have used 5w30 and 10w30.
Even tested a 5w40 for an interval. car did not like it, too much engine drag.
