The 2005 Honda Accord offers a choice of three different engine options, depending on the setup: a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine or one of two 3.0L V6 engines. The 4-cylinder engine requires either 4.2 quarts without a filter or 4.4 quarts with a filter of SAE 5W-20 full synthetic motor oil. Each V6 engine variant needs 4.2 quarts without a filter or 4.5 quarts with a filter of the same oil. While you can temporarily use SAE 5W-30 instead, it’s best to stick to the manufacturer’s recommended oil with the lowest viscosity. Opting for a thicker oil can create friction in the engine, potentially causing premature wear and damage that may lead to early engine failure. It's worth paying a bit more for the right oil to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
