The 2008 Honda Civic requires 5w-20 synthetic oil. It is necessary to change the oil periodically, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to replace the oil can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is crucial for maintaining smooth engine operation. Eventually, issues related to the oil will arise. Using old or poor-quality oil can result in engine failure. A notable sign of trouble is a strong burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential hazards. Additionally, you may notice decreased fuel efficiency and hear unusual knocking sounds coming from the engine.
