10W30

i think this question has been asked already, but i live in Vancouver BC and its just about spring time. I was wondering if it was ok to use 10W20 for my next oil change. my last oil change i used 5w30. So should i just get the 5W20 or will it be good to use the 10W20.

Also i cant find what oil filter i need for my car, does the 2000 civic use the same filter as the 2k1/

use 5w20...why wouldn't you? thats whats your supposed to use. I don't think the Honda engineers made a mistake.

i thought 5w30 ran well, not too shabby..

its just that the only 5w20 oil i could find was penzoil. in the 1L bottle so it would cost me almost 20 dollars just to get four litres of oil,

but waht oil filter do i use
