Hoe many km's has the car done?
Normally Synthetic shouldnt be used until around arguably 15000+ km so the engine can wear in properly, but I believe SuperSynth is a blend of Synthetic and natural oil anyway - just like Honda FEO is from what Ive gathered. So it should be fine.

Honda FEO is the same thickness so thats not an issue. I used it in my Civic and it was great, even at 250,000km :thumbsup:

Most cars are broken in by 500 miles, but still syn oils can break down the seals. Takes about 25,000 miles to 50,000 miles before I would touch the syn oils. But that's just me and my shop guys and everyone I know. My $.02USD!!

You asked a question about engine oil in the Euro - including 10w30 - in this thread:

You got an answer - so don't create a new thread covering the same thing.

I also asked you to do a search regarding euro engine oils. If you have more questions about oil in the Euro add it to one of the other oil threads like this one:

Thanks
