Here in the US, the Accord Euro is called the Acura TSX. Unlike their US Accord recommendation for 5W-20, they recommend 5w30 for the high output version of the 2.4L in the Euro Accord. However, if you look for a recommendation in the Castrol UK website, you will find Castrol RS 0W-40. This oil is PAO and not hydrocracked group III according to the German website.

A German web site recommends the following viscosities for the 2.0 and 2.4 liter engine:
0W-30 synthetic
0W-40 synthetic
5w30 gp.3
5W-40 gp.3
10W-40 mineral (two different variations)

I'd make the decision of which viscosity and base composition based upon your climate and driving conditions.
