This is really the correct answer but I'll add that mine see 10w-40 most of the time. Both will go through 5w-30 on high speed runs.Boring but correct answer:
It's a 25 year old Honda. Whatever's on sale in the right grade.
I ran Delo XLE 10w30 a lot in mine and always did well but now it's getting a lot harder to find as they are shifting back to 15w40. I found when running this oil I experienced some of the lowest oil consumption than when using other motor oil. The Honda D series is not really picky at all when it comes to which oil you use, I have 2x Civic HX's w/ D16y5 200k+ miles and currently using 5w30 PP HM and Valvoline FS Maxlife in the other.How about oil for big trucks like Mobil Delvac?

Why Under-stressed?ANY 5w-30 will work well. It’s a small under-stressed engine that is very easy on oil. 5k oci’s and you’re good to go.
Continue using what you are using. Honda engines to like the higher levels of ZDDP found in Euro oils. If you look into European manuals they recommend exactly what you're using with API of SLHi,
Which oil is better for my '96 Civic with D14A4 engine, Europe model?
Now I'm using 5W-40 API SN, ACEA A3/B4, but many people's suggest me that's better to use 5W-30 ILSAC GF-5 or GF-6A.
mannual recommend API SG or above
Honda engines only make power above 4k RPM, if you run them hard, I wouldnt use any oil below a 3.5 HTHSWhat do yo think about 5W-30 at winter and 10W-40 at summer?
Or 5W-30 year round?

The winter starting temps would be the major issue.How about oil for big trucks like Mobil Delvac? My old CRX with 1.6 vtec engine liked Delvac oil.
Your opinion about which oil i need?The question we need to ask is what do the people actually know about engines/ oil that are saying 5W-30? I find most people giving in advise are just regurgitating what some article or video promotes. The problem is people can not discern those that actually know from those that don't.
Here is the same story
Some people saying that ILSAC 5W-30 is better, so i was confused.
