You may go for either 0w-20 or 5w-30, API SN / SN Plus / RC, ILSAC GF-5, Fully Synthetic engine oil from any reputed brand. Just ensure that oil is 100% genuine and original.

If you want best for bucks, go for Total Quartz 9000 Future series (0w-20 and 5w-30)!

Other options include:

ZIC 0w-20,
Shell Helix Ultra 0w-20 (expensive),
Caltex / Havoline 0w-20,
ENEOS Sustina 5w-30 (expensive and premium, and one of the very best), etc.

I also was using proficar 5w30, and poured 0w20 proficar as recommended by the mechanic is it's cold now a days and later he said carry in with 5w30. Same brand. Personally I dont like proficar but I am afraid of changing brands. I would love to use mobil 1 or lique moly 5w30. Can I change to lique moly from proficar without problems ??? Is 0w20 ok ? For now a days as its winters? In civic 2018 1.8 oriel

Dear i dont recommend 0W20FE for hot climate of Pakistan. The thinner oil with evaporate more and can damage your intake and expensive exhast system like the catalytic converter. It is recommended to use in hybrid vehicles under less stress in colder arreas for the sake of feul economy. Although it is recommended for Civic R18z/a engines on many places but those are chilled places like europe, north america, canada or russia. U can use 0W30 in winters and 5W30 for summer for high heat protection bacause usually our climate is hot most of the year. Also 5w30 is best suitable for year round performance. Just make sure to get original oil of a reputed oil company with API-SN and ILSAC GF-5 grade. And always follow change intervals of your car manufacturer instead of oil company even your oil is rated for 10,000 or 20,0000 km.
I personally use Petromin 5w-30 DEXOS Approved.
