what oil should i be using for ek, 1.6 20w 50? or the one below that? thanks
go HONDA FEO
10w30
else you can go for the more expensive stuff
10w-30 or 10w-40
whats the difference between 10 w 30/40?
what oil filters you guys recommend, ryco, repco, valvoline any other ones besides OEM?
anyone?
10w-40 is thicker than 10w-30. Honda engines are typically rated for 10w-30Quote:

go for the HAMP oil filter hehehe
aarong
i thought 10w is the thickness and 30 is the working temp?
let me check
this is what i found
The SAE designation for multi-grade oils includes two grade numbers; for example, 10W-30 designates a common multi-grade oil. Historically, the first number associated with the W (again 'W' is for Winter, not Weight) is not rated at any single temperature. The "10W" means that this oil can be pumped by your engine as well as a single-grade SAE 10 oil can be pumped. "5W" can be pumped at a lower temperature than "10W" and "0W" can be pumped at a lower temperature than "5W". The second number, 30, means that the viscosity of this multi-grade oil at 100°C (212°F) operating temperature corresponds to the viscosity of a single-grade 30 oil at same temperature. The governing SAE standard is called SAE J300. This "classic" method of defining the "W" rating has since been replaced with a more technical test where a "cold crank simulator" is used at increasingly lowered temps. A 0W oil is tested at −35 °C (−31 °F), a 5W at −30 °C (−22 °F) and a 10W is tested at −25 °C (−13 °F). The real-world ability of an oil to crank in the cold is diminished soon after put into service. The motor oil grade and viscosity to be used in a given vehicle is specified by the manufacturer of the vehicle (although some modern European cars now make no viscosity requirement), but can vary from country to country when climatic or mpg constraints come into play.
10w is the thickness of the oil during start-up of the car, 30 is during operating temperature.
^^ lams right
dood honda FEO 10w30 is perfect for the ek...
honda OEM oil filter + sump plug washer... all can be had for like 35 at honda parts (petter warren parts)
honda oem hamp oil filters i hear leak...
