In the United States, the 2005 Honda Civic requires synthetic oil SAE 5w20 with a capacity of 4.4 quarts. Oil plays a crucial role in lubricating the engine parts, safeguarding the emission system, and potentially boosting fuel efficiency. The approximate cost for an oil change on your Civic falls between $40 to $50 for labor and $60 to $70 for parts. It's recommended to schedule an oil change every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. Warning signs indicating the need for an oil change include increased engine noise and knocking, a noticeable oil odor inside the vehicle, shaking while idling, higher mileage than usual, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change lights.

    The 2005 Honda Civic with a 1.3L inline-4 engine needs 0W-20 full synthetic oil, but it's acceptable to use 5W-20 if needed, according to Honda. The 1.7L inline-4 engine options (D17A1, D12A2, D17A6, and D17A7) in the 2005 Honda Civic all require 5W-20 full synthetic oil. If you have the 2.0L inline-4 engine in your 2005 Honda Civic, it also needs 5W-20 full synthetic oil.

    I own a 2005 Honda Civic with almost 80,000 kilometers on it. I haven't replaced the engine, and I'm wondering which type of oil I should use in both summer and winter. Currently, I use 20W-40 oil.

    The 2005 Civic can hold between 3.4 and 3.7 quarts without the filter, and 4.4 quarts with the filter. It's recommended to consult the manual for accurate information. For my EX Special edition, I've found that using 0w20 oil works the best. If you live in a hot climate like Ohio, you may want to consider using 5w20 oil instead.
