Terrible mistake on Accord 2009 LX-P
Hello
It's the first time to post the question in this forum.
However, It's a kind of shame since I should post very stupid questions
Somehow,
- I did my first oil change around 3K. Is it very harmful?
- Used 5W-15 (or 5W-10) oil for my car. Is it ok?
Thanks in advance.

In regards to the type of oil you used, this may be more of a problem. To my knowledge, Honda engines often use 5W-20 oil. I am unsure of what effects a different type of oil might have.
I would consult the service department at your local Honda dealer for more specifics on this.
Good luck.
BTW- for future reference, synthetic oils, like Mobil 1, really do work better in modern cars than the old dinosaur oils. More expensive, but you can go longer between changes.
Might I suggest moving this party to the Accord Maintenance & Repair forum? I'm short on time so somebody please provide the linky? :shades:
