lol a search would have cleared this up real quick man
get some Honda FEO Ultra 5w30 and use that until it hits 200k kms - than switch to regular Honda FEO 10w30
everything else should just be OEM Honda as well

I did do a quick search and found your thread about FEO Ultra and Regular... but then got confused when people started bringing in number of kms into it. haha
At the moment I've got 15W-40... an UltraTune mechanic put it in =/ Is it gonna cause much of a problem?
Are you sure about the Ultra 5w30? I remember I read in that thread that the Ultra wasn't recommended for pre-2002 Honda's?

Honda FEO 5w30 for engine less than 180,000-200,000km
Honda FEO 10w30 for engine after >200,000km
I use Castrol 10w30,
Honda dot 4 for brakes/clutch

Any synthetic with 5W-30 for the life of the thing :D
You may start burning some later in life, but in that case you just top up a little. Id rather have the slightly better protection at start up the 5W affords. Along with the longer change interval.

Personally I prefer to stick with 10W-40. Nulon for my baby, Castrol Magnatech for my daily.
