1996 Honda Civic Oil Capacity
The 1996 Honda Civic oil capacity depends on engine: the D16Y5 and D16Y7 take 3.5 qt, while the D16Y8 takes 3.2 qt. Each listed engine uses 5W-30 oil. Check the engine code before using a capacity figure, since the amount is not the same across all engines.
Read each entry as the engine code, oil capacity, and oil grade. These figures identify the listed 1996 engine options; they do not establish the capacity for a different model year or an engine not named here. If your engine code is unclear, or you need a figure not listed, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
