type of oil
 
what kind of oil does a 2002 civic ex 2 door take and whats the best kind to get

It takes 5w-20. Best one? Best for what application?

I'd say go with M1 5w-20 and change it every 5k miles if you want peace of mind and feel the need to run a syn oil. If you want to go cheap, then go with a dino such as Motorcraft. Most of the 5w-20 oils are well built. If you do a search you'll find even more answers and greater discussion.

"What kind of oil" is always such a subjective post...

I personally run a full synthetic 0w20 oil. I can't reccomend one oil over another. I do reccomend a full synthetic oil however.

It depends on your climate, and how you drive. There's a great website, I think it's the oildrop, or something like that... great resource for information on oils.

As Flashlightboy said, do some searches for more information and what other people are doing.

I run Redline 5w20. Works great.

I personally run RL 5w-20 and the M1-110 filter with a change at every 5k or 6 months, whichever comes first.

As 4drcivic said, BITOG is where the info is at although some of has migrated here from people who are members of both forums.

either the mobil 5w20 or try to find the German Castrol!

For me: Mobil 1 5w20 with a OEM Filtech filter every 3,000 miles.
