The 2024 Civic Sedan with the 2.0 L engine takes 0W-20 oil: Honda Genuine Motor Oil or an API Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil. An oil and filter change takes 4.4 US quarts (4.2 L), or 4.2 quarts without the filter. It runs on 87-octane regular gasoline from a 12.39-gallon tank, and Honda says it is not designed to tow a trailer.
This page covers the 2024 Civic Sedan (4-door) with the 2.0 L engine. The 1.5 L turbo sedans use the same 0W-20 oil but take 3.7 quarts with the filter, and those with the manual transmission need premium fuel, 91 octane or higher (Honda). The hatchback has its own manual.
