The 2019 Honda Accord uses SAE 0W-20 full-synthetic motor oil for both engine options (1.5L turbo and 2.0L turbo). Use Honda-approved or equivalent oil that meets API SN or newer, and follow the maintenance minder for oil-change intervals.
Oil specification
Key details you should know about the oil specification are:
- Oil type and viscosity: SAE 0W-20 full-synthetic motor oil
- Approval and compatibility: Honda Genuine Motor Oil or an equivalent that meets API SN or newer and ILSAC GF-5 or newer
- Climate considerations: The recommendation of 0W-20 applies across common climate ranges; ensure the oil remains within spec for your region
In short, the 2019 Accord is designed to run on 0W-20 full synthetic oil to optimize fuel economy and engine protection.
Notes on sourcing and additives
Choose oil that carries the appropriate API/ILSAC certifications; avoid additives unless Honda specifically recommends them for your vehicle.
Oil capacity and maintenance interval
Practical numbers to plan for service and topping up are:
- Oil capacity (with filter): approximately 4.5 quarts (4.3–4.8 qt range, depending on engine and filter size); consult the owner's manual for the exact figure for your model
- Change interval: follow the Honda Maintenance Minder; typical normal-driving interval is about 7,500 miles (12,000 km); severe driving conditions may require changes around 3,750 miles (6,000 km) or sooner as indicated by the minder
Always consult the vehicle’s Maintenance Minder and the owner's manual for the exact oil-change schedule tailored to your driving conditions.
Summary
The 2019 Honda Accord requires SAE 0W-20 full-synthetic motor oil, with an approximate capacity of 4.5 quarts per change. Use Honda-approved or equivalent oil meeting API SN or newer, and rely on the Maintenance Minder for recommended service intervals, typically around 7,500 miles under normal driving and shorter when driving conditions are severe.
