10w30 in summer, and 5w30 in winter. Brand wise Royal Purple, Mobill1, Castrol are all good. Synthetic or not depends.

I use 5w30 synthetic mobil 1 in my civic. Synthetic will give a little more hp.

^not noticeable enough for possible issues if ur just startin to put synthetic in a higher mileage engine..stay conventional unless u plan on rebuilding, then use synthetic
