Honda Accord i-vtec 2000cc oil change

[carboy2017]

I suddenly realized that my Honda Accord i-vtec 2000cc petrol has done 6k miles since the last oil change and I got a long bank holiday trip of approx 1000 miles

Any fellow owners could you point me to the correct oil change intervals (my owners manual is not with me right now as im at work )

[Mark-t]

What engine is it? The k20 in type-r variant is 12,500 miles, other 2000cc n/a Honda petrols will probably be the same.
I wouldn't worry as long as the level is ok.

[Sillyhatday]

I always thought the K20 was 9000 miles. In either case it's totally fine. Wouldn't even cross my mind.

I'm not sure if this is the same 2.0 petrol engine in the 4th Gen CRV but here is the service schedules for the CR-V which may help give you a rough guide.

I was told by one mechanic to use Castrol semi synthetic 10-40 oil

Is that good or are there any better ones? i usually supply the oil n filter

[ninjag]

Castrol Fully Synthetic 0W20 if you can but 0W30 will also be fine.

Or get the genuine Honda stuff (which may be rebranded Castrol anyway) here: https://h-tune.co.uk/genuine-honda-engine-oil-4-li...

Also, Costco do Castrol 0W30 at £30 for 4 litres.

[carboy2017]

bear in mind mine is a 2004 model

pardon my ignorance any idea as to why the mechanic recommended semi synthetic one?

0W30 seems to be the recommendation here: https://applications.castrol.com/oilselector/en_gb...

2004 isn't really old for a Honda petrol engine and from experience I've found they love fresh oil!
