D16 Oil and AutoBox Oil

[Waldo]

hey guys, just new to the honda world, just wondering what engine oil are you using in a d16 motor and what auto gearbox oil do you use in a 99 ek civic. I run the mobil 1 stuff in my 400hp r32 and it seems pretty good stuff, just need to know if its to thin for the civic. Move this thread into the right section please if its in the wrong one.

you can use honda feo oil.
10w30 it is

and in honda auto boxes. only use genuine honda atf.
nasty things will happen if you don't.

Honda OEM is the best to go for most of the fluids unless you want a fully synthetic engine oil.

+ 1 vote for FEO oil for engine oil.

Also , use only OEM ATF too as said ~
pretty much ANY auto gearbox needs the OEM fluid...

Use ONLY Honda ATF for the auto gearbox. As for engine oil, stick to 10w-30. Honda FEO is 10w-30. You can use other brands too, but make sure it is 10w-30 (or 0w-30, 5w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40, 10w-40, these are ok too).

cheers for the replies where can i buy this honda auto fluid from and id rather go the full synthetic oil for the motor (dont care about cost) i heard the honda engine oil is mineral oil??

Honda ATF from the dealer.

Honda FEO is good. Just change it every 6 months or 7000km. Don't wait until 10,000km. I use Castrol Edge 5w-30, $62 (supercheap/autobarn 20% off, $50). Pretty good. But for the price, you can get 2 bottles of FEO.

Sorry for all the questions how much auto fluid will i need to buy? and roughly how much is it from the dealer

[destrukshn]

auto fluid is approx 3 litres, but they come in 4 litre bottles.
a 4 litre bottle is $49.50
