Hi all,
I recently purchased a DC5, the engine has done just over 120,000km.
Just wondering which oil viscosity you'd recommend for my engine?
Cheers.

10W-30 Honda FEO for street use. Cheap and plentiful.
Plenty of threads about oil about too.
I use 10-70
And my car is puffing white smoke.
Which I've been told is a sign of a good healthy engine.
But seriously do a search, its been discussed over and over again.

Hey Chi, yeah I use 10-70 as well. Assuming you're using Penrite Syn?
What engine oil do you recommend for a non Type R DC5, with about 130,000 kms? My cousin has the Special Edition. Which I believe has the K20A3 engine.
He's currently running Castrol Magnatec 10W40, which I recommended as it seems to be a ok engine oil that seems to work. Also he hasn't had any problems with it.
However I was thinking of trying Penrite HPR 5 next, which is a 5W40 full synthetic. What are your thoughts people? Do you guys think a DC5 would benefit from a full synthetic oil?

I run HPR5 in alot of K series with no issues at all. With the sort of mileage you have I would lean towards HPR10
I use it almost everyday in high kilometer K series with no issues. When me or my customers go racing, I use a 15W50.
Also you cant compare magnatec to HPR. It's like comparing milk to wine
In My experience - A guy who changes his own oil.
I use Motul in my DC5R. 200, 000KMS on motor. Pump is on its way I think.
5w - Kept good Temps etc, but oil pressure suffered heavy.
10w - Best of both worlds, oil pressure suffers only in between 900 - 1200 RPMS
15w will be what I try next probs back to penrite. Penrite did me well when i was playing wit B series.
Idunno if this is a placebo effect. Using S2k Filter - Low RMP low pressure has increased. Only will drop around heavy corners in High g's.
