Syntetic oil for Honda Accord.
I own 1997 Honda Accord and was wondering how much better using syntetic
oil would be? I have never used syntetic before, is it worth while to switch now? Do I still have to change every 5000km if I use syntetic oil? I heard someone said that it is ok to change every 20000 km if you use syntetic, is it true? Since I am new to syntetic oil, any information will be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know where I can find owner manuals and/or repair manuals for my car on the net? Regards, Walter. |

Not for free if that's what you were thinking. Certainly not the shop manuals. If you want to buy one you can try Helminc.com. And eBay usually seems to have a variety being offered. There is also a company called books4cars that has a massive collection of all sorts of books for older or more obscure models. John -- Use plasma destruct ray on address to reply via email. |
Re: Syntetic oil for Honda Accord.
Synthetic oil comes in two flavors, synthetic blend and a pure synthetic.
They are both higher in price that non-synthetic oils especially the pure synthetics. If you change your oil and filter faithfully you may want to consider using a non-synthetic 5w-30 oil and save money. If you have 75,000 miles or more on your vehicle consider high mileage oil. The key is to keep up with your maintenance schedule. I'm still a believer in the 3month/3,000 mile rule. If you want to stretch your intervals, than yes - you may want to consider a fully synthetic oil. Good luck.
