if you look in the owners manual it has a range of oil grades you can use not only 10w30

if you want to be smart come to penrith honda dealer, ask what grade they using and ask why 10 30 recommended

cause thats the big-ass barrel castrol magnetec comes in thats cheap

Seriously, Honda printed the recommended oil ranges on the owners manual AND the workshop manual. Which one the particular dealer uses is up to the dealer as long as it's WITHIN the guidelines. I can photo copy the fkin thing if you dont have one.

Unless the dealer can print me a an OFFICIAL Honda Australia communication dictating the exact viscosity of oil to use, they're just talking out of their arses.

When my car was services by the dealer (years back), dealers used everything from Mobil 2000 10w-40 to Castrol Magnetec 5w-30 and everything in between, depending on who the dealer had supply contract with.

but most honda dealer selling only 10 30w on the self, why is that?

They also have Honda FEO Ultra 5w30.

Just because theres a bottle on the shelf, chances are they are using something completely different down at the workshop.

^ Is that any good?

Consensus was that it's a Caltex made group 3 synthetic oil in SM spec.

Not good value for money if the dealer wants $70+ for a bottle
Good if it's less than $55

So have now put in 10w40 penrite 10 tenths racing oil... I must say... After a sprinted drive home... It feels delish. I really like it. Car feels really nice and super smooth.
Going in the 10w40 penrite came across as a thinner looking oil... But its 10w40 so.... Whatever I guess. Lol
Car goes in for an inspection and tune on Friday. Will see the results Friday arvo.
Tuning with uni-chip Qbox I believe so will post some results... (Dyno run with H/I/E. And dyno with H/I/E with uni-chip tune)

Cheers guys for the input. Will let u know if the car goes alright on this oil.
Cheers

Hmmm, any sales on currently that you guys know of right now?? On both ATF or Full Syntethic stuff?

Got the penrite for 64$. Pretty cheap
