Awesome video! Should be a piece of cake.
Which brand should I be looking at? Or should I go with the one and only Honda FEO?

If you feel the need to go ahead haha. But anything decent should be fine, i.e Penrite, Castrol, etc. Avoid Magnatec.
At one of my local shops, I'm picking up Penrite 10w-50 for under $50 for a 5L bottle. I figure that's thin enough to save my car from the short trips I always end up doing and still being useful when I go someplace stinking hot.... With that wide a range of weightings, I do change every 5000kms, but every time, that oil is a beautiful colour... translucent and gently brown.
Yeah sounds fair. But remember that the more range an oil has , the more additives and shit added to it
Isn't that abit expensive?Quote:

Just buy from local auto store unless Gumtree is closer
False. Additives are not shit.Quote:

Thats the advantage synthetics have over mineral oils.
Is that why my car runs a little rougher after 7-8k kms since an oil change with synthetic?Quote:

1. Some oils state fully synthetic but are not fully synthetic, they just make the standard and are lazily given the title.
2. What oil are you using?
3. Mineral oils contain no additives as they are extracted from the ground. So the additives are added it, but the bond on a molecular level isnt strong, so over time they separate and disintegrate.
4. Synthetic oils are man made and are engineered to have certain additives as part of their molecular structure. So expect better protection and performance with a synthetic over mineral.
5. I change my oil every 5K Km, and something is awry if synthetic oil is making your car perform worse than a mineral.
Mhmmm mhmm.. last oil i ran was 10-30w oem honda oil..... and the time before that 10-40w royal purple..
currently running 5-30w oem honda now and have done about 2k kms with the oil and still going good.
I used motul Xcess 5-40w. Everything I changed the oil it came out golden/brown.
10-40w is more suited to high powered turbocharged vehicles. Try another full synthetic oil that is 5-30w
Did you use the same oil filter on both occasions?
I used Castrol VMX80 in my gb plus Nulon treatment. It was good for about 8000km when I noticed it was getting harder to shift and slight grinding in 3rd.
Changed to valvoline Duragear Gl4 synthetic. Been a happy camper since.
Ask any reputable tuner. They all go Synthetic.
