I see so many people here spending unnecessary money on “boutique” oils that you don’t need. Spend a few minutes reading a good summary (from the people that test your oil!) about why it doesn’t matter.
Every oil you can get off the shelf now is really good, yes even the Walmart Supertech oil and AmazonBasics oil are fantastic and it’s more than your stock internals civic will ever need.
Stop listening to the marketing that your Amsoil salesdude is trying to tell you, I’ve heard so many lies from them that even amsoil disproves.
Stop paying for marketing; it’s your money.. your problem, just trying to help out a fellow car enthusiast to stop being taken advantage of.

If you wanna learn *more*, go spend a few hours at bob is the oil guy, read the motor oil university.
The main issue with these cars is fuel dilution; the only solution is to change your oil more often. Not even the most expensive oil made from baby unicorn tears will prevent fuel from getting in your oil.
Personally, I use Supertech synthetic 5w30 and change it every 5k miles, it costs about $18 to change the oil and have a bunch leftover.
