The Honda Accord's oil requirements track closely with the Civic, using low-viscosity synthetic across recent generations. Most modern Accords take 0W-20 full synthetic in the 1.5L turbo and 2.0L turbo engines, while older V6 models used a slightly different grade. Here is the year and engine breakdown.
| Engine / Years | Oil type | Capacity | Interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L turbo 2018-2025 | 0W-20 synthetic | 3.7 qt | 7,500-10,000 mi |
| 2.0L turbo 2018-2022 | 0W-20 synthetic | 4.5 qt | 7,500-10,000 mi |
| 2.4L 4-cyl 2013-2017 | 0W-20 synthetic | 4.4 qt | 7,500 mi |
| 3.5L V6 2008-2017 | 0W-20 or 5W-20 | 4.5 qt | 7,500 mi |
Honda specifies 0W-20 full synthetic for the 1.5L turbo and 2.0L turbo engines from 2018 onward, and for the 2.4L four-cylinder in the prior generation. Look for oil meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6.
Older 3.5L V6 Accords generally used 0W-20 as well, but always confirm from the cap and manual since Honda occasionally specified 5W-20 on specific engines.
The 1.5L turbo holds about 3.7 quarts with a filter. The 2.0L turbo holds roughly 4.5 quarts. The older 2.4L four-cylinder took about 4.4 quarts, and the 3.5L V6 held around 4.5 quarts. Add most of it, then confirm on the dipstick.
The Accord uses an easy-to-reach spin-on filter. Gather the right 0W-20 synthetic, a Honda-compatible filter, a 17mm socket for the drain plug, and a fresh crush washer. Reset the Maintenance Minder through the dash after finishing.
