IMO you can't go wrong with Elf, Motul, Mobil 1. 10w-30 should be fine, if your car has seen a few km's eg 100,000+ then run a 10W-40 as it's slightly thicker. Most these oil's are available at either repco, autobahn etc.

Well i went to the honda dealer to day and got my self some oil (which is fine for now then, because i dont have a licence for another 2 more months and its just my gf driving it the odd time around town) might look into the synthetic stuff then because i do want to track it as well, the only thing is that i cant find any of them oils in 10-30 (my car has 85000kms) around hear i have tried super cheap auto, autobahn and repco, do i have to order them in? or is my town just povo Lol?

Lol i bought 1 oil today and it was $36 and i didnt even ask for a discount :)

If the places your going to sell brands such as Motul, Elf or whatever brand you want to use, Just ask them to order it in, as they'll usually only stock oil viscosity's that are premium sellers.

My old man took my Honda oil and used it in his Toyota van lol, then he comes in and goes I used your oil... so I go outside and he didn't close the lid properly, left the bottle and funnel all oily and didn't even put anything back in its spot... had the shits but what can ya do.. he must be getting old!

I use Valvoline Synthetic 10w30. Costs about $38 for 5L. You can get it in Big W.

i was using semi synthetic 5-40.. now im using full synthetic 5-40.. and for some reason my S isnt munching as much oil as it once was? whats up with that lol? I used to top of my oil like every petrol stop -.- lol.

Most autobarn, supercheap, repco stock 10W30 such as Valvoline Durablend, Shell Plus Eco, Castrol GTX, just to name a few...

Some Kmart and BigW also stock Durablend and GTX

One Repco I know of still have what left of Mobil1 10W30 discontinued stock.

Fully synthetic oil genenerally have less oil consumption than mineral oil based on higher flash point and noack.

He used about 3 and a half lts, i put some 98 octane in it as well, it goes harder now :)

hey guys just got a question....been reading up on the post.... for the s2ks i thought best oil was fully synthetic? 0-40?!? i've been topping up with mobil1 0-40. Will service it soon. Should i continue using 0-40?

Royal Purple 5w-30, the good stuff imo.

i have just filled mine with MOTUL 8100 X-Cess 5W40 100% Synthetic
