Add your answer:
What kind of oil do you put in a 1996 Honda Accord?
That is a personal choice as to Synthetic vs Conventional, if I'm not mistaken it calls for an SAE 5W30. If the engine has NO Major Oil leaks then I would use a Synthetic Motor Oil 5W30 or even a 0W30. Hope this Helps.
What type of motor oil do you put in a 2000 ford escort?
Ford recommends 5w30 to be used. There are no recommendations as far as synthetic vs conventional go.
Can you use 5w30 oil in a jeep 2.5l instead of 10 w30?
Yes, but keep in mind that 5w30 thins out at higher temperatures vs. 10w30. i.e. 5w30 is better for cooler climates than 10w30 respectively. Theoretically you could see a mpg increase with the thinner oil comparatively, just don't sacrifice proper lubrication to save a few bucks. In my '95 2.5l it never lost any oil when I ran 10w30. When I tried 5w30 it did go through some. I have a 99k engine. the oil wasn't being burnt, so I wasn't losing it quickly, I just needed to top it off after a few months. I probably had to add 1/2 quart.

Have a 1998 Ford Taurus what oil do you need to change too have 150300 miles on the car?
There are a lot of opinions on the topic of oil - especially when discussing the pros & cons of synthetics vs 'dino' (dinosaur remains fossil fuel based oil).Here is one opinion, mine:I have settled on using Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic blend oil in all my vehicles: 98 Tracer, 98 Sable DOHC, 2001 Windstar & a 2002 Focus.Reasons:# It's the Ford product recommend / spec# It's well priced - typically around $2.50/quart - Walmart carries the 5 qt jug for $12.50 (early 2009)# I don't have to remember what I put in what vehicle Note: Ford issued a TSB (technical service bulletin TSB 02-1-9) regarding the 5w20 superseding 5w30 Owners Manual specifications. Applies to the majority of the car products back to the early 1990's.See "Related Links" or search on FORD TSB 02-1-9 for more details.
