I think the specified oil is 0w20 - however it will probably be fine with a slightly thicker oil - although Honda specify the grade for optimum performance and economy. I always use Mobil-1 in my 70k mile 1.6iDTEC, buy the best oil you can and an OEM filter.
Honda Civic with engine 1.7L 4-cyl has the oil capacity of 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters) and 4.6 quarts (4.4 liters) for 2.0L 4-cyl. It’s recommended to use 5W-20 oil for both 1.7L 4-cyl and 2.0L 4-cyl Engine size, while for the model with 1.3L 4-cyl engine, 0W-20 is preferred.Honda B16/B18 engine: VTEC tuning The original motor that started the craze, the VTEC B-Series engines were originally found in 1.6ltr form in CRXs, Civic VTis, and of course in the original EK9 Civic Type R. It was here that it produced a pretty bonkers 185bhp while revving to 9,000rpm. Honda's VTEC Turbo engines, like the 2.0-liter in the Civic Type R, use a VTEC system on the exhaust camshaft to deal with all the extra air forced in by the turbo at higher engine speeds.
