2013–2017 Honda Accord Oil Type & Capacity
Honda's owner's manuals for the 2013–2017 Accord call for 0W-20 in every year. Capacity with a filter change: 2.4L 4-cylinder 4.4 US qt (4.2 L); 3.5L V6 4.5 US qt (4.3 L); 2.0L hybrid 3.9 US qt (3.7 L) for 2014 and 4.0 US qt (3.8 L) for 2017. No Honda manual for 2015 was available to check, so that year carries no figures here.
Grade is settled for this generation before the hood opens. Every manual from it that was available to us specifies 0W-20, for the 2.4L four-cylinder, the 3.5L V6 and the 2.0L Hybrid alike. Quantity is where the attention belongs. The 2.4L is listed at 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) with a filter in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, up from the 4.2 qt the previous car's 2.4L took from 2010 on. The V6 holds 4.5 qt (4.3 L).
The Hybrid runs smaller: 3.9 qt (3.7 L) in 2014 and 4.0 qt (3.8 L) in 2017. Then there's 2015. Honda's manual for that year wasn't available to us, so this page gives no grade or capacity for it; a 2015 owner should go by the filler cap and the car's own manual.

Sport and Hybrid: which number applies
On this generation the Sport trim uses the 2.4L four-cylinder, so it takes the same 4.4 qt (4.2 L) of 0W-20 as any other 2.4L car of its year. That stops being true on the next generation, where the Sport name covers two turbo engines with very different fills.
The Hybrid needs its own figure. Its 2.0L holds less than either gas engine, and the two Hybrid manuals available to us differ by 0.1 qt between 2014 and 2017. Pouring a 2.4L's full fill into a Hybrid overfills it. Measure to the Hybrid's number, give the oil a few minutes to settle, and let the dipstick handle the rest.
