Hi Eric I took my 2007 Honda Accord Euro in for it’s 100.000 service and I notice when I got the job card back that they have
been using Castrol Magnatec on all of the oil changes. It is a 2.4 ltr vetec I think the same as your Honda. My question is should you
use Honda oil only as with everything else? Kind regards John Kinnane

There are specific types of transmission and power steering fluids that are required by the manufacturer, but engine oil is, relatively, universal. The manufacturer will recommend “SAE” or “synthetic.” Many European cars even take a special “Euro oil.” As long as they are using the correct weight oil there shouldn’t be a problem.
I agree with thisisbuod. motor oil has become one of those things that is whatever works for you. as long as it meets the manufacture specs it should be just fine. personally I like using valvoline conventional 5w30 in the winter and 10w30 in the summer with a nappa gold oil filter in my 1996 chevy k1500 and I use the factory viscosity and nappa gold with all my cars. is it the best heck if I know but it works for me. I think you should be fine like I said long as it meets the specs which from my understanding most oils do now. I dont have much experience with Hondas though. I hope all goes well!
