2011 Honda Insight oil questions that affect checkout

How often should I change the oil on a 2011 Honda Insight?

Castrol's service data indicates a 12 mo change interval for the 2011 Honda Insight. Your actual service need depends on driving conditions and the oil-life monitor reading. Always confirm against your owner's manual; severe-duty cycles may shorten the interval.

2011 Honda Insight oil — questions before buying

Can I use 5W-20 or 5W-30 instead of 0W-20 in my 2011 Honda Insight?
The checked source rows on this page list 0W-20 for the 2011 Honda Insight. Use 0W-20 unless your owner's manual, oil cap, or service information for your exact engine allows another grade. If a retailer suggests 5W-20 or 5W-30, match the engine row first and confirm the grade before buying.
