I have the same car & when I went to the dealership, I was advised to use 10w40 Synthetic blend. But when I went to Hannys, they recommended 15w40 (a more viscous oil). Their reasoning for the higher viscosity was that these motors tend to burn a little oil.

I'm a noob, so I dare not say which is better, maybe someone with more knowledge can give a better answer.



Also found some interesting reading:

"Let us consider the following: SAE 5W-40.

The fact that this classification has two parts; the 5W and the 40 indicates that the oil is a multigrade. The first number with the suffix 'W' indicates the oil's performance at low temperature. In fact the 'W' stands for winter. The lower the 'W' number the lower the viscosity of the oil. Therefore an SAE 5W oil is a lower viscosity oil than an SAE 10W oil.
Since diesels are hard to start in winter, a 5W low viscosity number is appropriate.

The number after the W, in the above case '40'; gives a measure of the oil's viscosity at high temperature. Again the lower the number the thinner the oil is at high temperature. So an SAE 30 is a thinner, or less viscous, oil than an SAE 40.

A multigrade oils is an oil that has two parts such as SAE 5W-40, or 20W-50. A monograde oil only has one part, such as SAE 30, or SAE 40.

The choice of viscosity grade is a difficult subject. The manufacturer's recommendations should be followed."

I dunno Kenny... I used Magnatec for quiet a while before finding out about FEO... Was speaking to my Mechanic and he said that Magatec is little too thick for the car and i should be using a thinner blend like FEO... And No he doesnt work for Honda his just a Honda Specialist... I've been using FEO for the last Few years u've had the car.

Anyways What did u use on ur H22 Kenny?
