Honda genuine engine oil Green Hybrid 4L 08232P99S4LHE

Genuine Honda Hybrid Engine Oil – Honda Green Oil 4L (08232P99S4LHE) is a fully synthetic Honda hybrid engine oil developed by Honda R&D for early-generation Honda hybrid engines (IMA). It is the original factory-fill formulation designed to support low emissions, high fuel efficiency and long engine life.

Often referred to simply as Honda Green Oil or Honda green engine oil, this lubricant is tailored to the specific operating profile of hybrid engines – frequent starts and stops, short engine cycles and the need for rapid oil flow on every restart. It helps maintain clean internals and stable performance over high mileage.

Application – early Honda hybrid engines (IMA)

Honda Green hybrid engine oil 4L is intended primarily for early-generation Honda hybrid models, including:

• Honda Civic Hybrid (IMA),
• Honda Insight early models,
• Honda CR-Z,
• Honda Jazz Hybrid (first hybrid generations).

It should not be used in newer Honda hybrid systems (e.g. e:HEV, e:PHEV) or in conventional non-hybrid engines. For those vehicles, always follow the oil recommendation in the owner’s manual or confirm with VIN-based lookup.

Key benefits of Honda Green Oil 4L

• Genuine Honda hybrid engine oil – developed and approved by Honda.
• Optimised for hybrid operation – frequent start-stop cycles and low load running.
• Supports fuel economy – low viscosity formulation reduces internal friction.
• Lower emissions – helps Honda hybrid engines meet strict emission targets.
• Clean engine internals – helps prevent sludge, varnish and harmful deposits.

1L and 4L – matching packages

For a full oil change most Honda hybrid engines will use the 4L Honda Green oil. If you need a smaller quantity or want a dedicated top-up bottle, there is also a 1 litre Honda hybrid engine oil available: Honda Green Hybrid 1L 08232P99S1LHE. Combining the 4L can with the 1L bottle lets you match the exact fill volume while keeping the system filled only with genuine Honda hybrid engine oil.

FAQ – Honda Hybrid Green Oil 4L

Is this Honda Green Oil suitable for all Honda hybrid models?
No. It is designed mainly for early Honda hybrid engines (IMA) such as Civic Hybrid, Insight, CR-Z and early Jazz Hybrid. Newer hybrid systems require different oil specifications.

What happens if I use non-genuine oil instead of Honda green engine oil?
Using non-genuine oil may lead to reduced hybrid system efficiency, higher emissions and less effective protection during frequent start-stop operation.

Can I mix Honda Green hybrid engine oil with other oils?
Mixing is not recommended. To maintain full protective performance and emission compliance, use only genuine Honda hybrid engine oil specified for your vehicle.

Does 4 litres cover a complete oil change?
In many early Honda hybrids 4L is sufficient, but the exact fill amount depends on the model. Check the service documentation and, if necessary, complement the fill with the matching 1L Honda Green Hybrid bottle 08232P99S1LHE.
