When to change the oil on a 2018-2025 (10th-11th gen) Honda Accord, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Maintenance Minder (~7,500 mi); 1.5T ~5,000 mi due to dilution |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 1.5L turbo or 2.0L turbo (10th gen) / hybrid; 0W-20 full synthetic |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Honda Accord note: Two very different drivetrains in the 10th gen: 1.5T+CVT vs 2.0T+10AT — maintenance differs (CVT fluid vs conventional ATF). Same 1.5T dilution note.
