The Honda Crosstour uses SAE 5W-20 engine oil. Honda recommends using their Genuine Honda motor oil with a viscosity of 0W-20 for both engine options. While synthetic oil is not required, it is recommended as it provides better engine protection and allows for longer intervals between oil changes.

What is the disadvantage of synthetic oil?
Disadvantages of synthetic oil
Multi-grade motor oils using synthetics may exhibit slightly less fuel economy at highway speeds compared to mineral oil. The oil could leak out of old engines with loose seals and gaskets. This is due to lower pour pont and flowing characteristics even at low temperatures.
What happens if you use synthetic blend instead of full synthetic?
For most vehicles, synthetic blend is a good choice. If your vehicle speficies that full synthetic is required, then a synthetic blend will not be okay – it could actually leave your engine vulnerable to damage.
