Same oil/filter you'd use in any 92-00 civic/integra.

Filter is the same as any 92-00 civic. Oil, it really doesn't matter, you can use conventional, or if you feel like spending more money you can poor synthetic, but its entirely up to you. 5w30 weight is good.

I don't think I'd go 0 W30 that taking it too far. I'd stick with 5 W 30 for winter.

Personally I'd rather go conventional oil but change it more often than going synthetic. I change oil around 3,000 – 5,000K

In all honesty you could put whatever weight you want of synthetic and it would be good for winter or summer.

5w30 for conventional oil for the winter. Same or 10w30 for summer.
