Hey guys,

More a grasp of different/better oils I could consider using in the future.

Currently running a jdm b18c - what oils are you guys using?

Engine, gearbox, radiator etc.

Cheers

75w90 is not the right one for Honda. It will eventually eat at your syncros

What about in the Nulon Range for engine oils?

Anybody recommend anything or is Penrite generally better for the engine?

Long time Nulon user that's all, but always happier to use what's healthier.

I grasp that Penrite oils are generally more used among b18c owners, or at least through my experience.

So 5w-40 HPR 5 engine oil and 75w-85 gearbox oil?

Edit: Sorry new to Honda and loving it so trying to get the basics down pat
