oem honda oils :) !!

i used castrol GT3 15w-40 (N/A)
now Shell HeliX Super 5W-40 (Turbo)

but most People in here will say Honda OEM oils are best for honda engines..
you can either use
10w-40 to 25w-40
synthetic or semisynthetic

my manual book from "hynes" was like 5w-40 to 15w-40 ..

ur basic manual gives an indication of wats grades are suitable for different climates as well.

i personally use mobil 1 5w-50 but honda oem oils are also very popular and are a pretty safe bet provided u get the correct grade. :)

I recommend you go to a Honda dealership/service place and use their synthetic oil... best for Hondas... but Castrol's GT3-C is good too...

Good luck.

what oil is that?
havent seen any oil with that grade before..

just stick to honda oil.. its cheap and if you do you oil change regularly, its a good oil

dont go back and forth with mineral and synthetic oils though
