Motul 8100 is oK - good type of oil, but oil break down after 5000km...
Motul V300 is good - this is good, smooth and engine easy to rev, but after 5000km the oil breaks down.

Thats right ! I don't understand why Honda always use Castrol oil for service, i use Motul Turbolight 4100 for my euro, is it suit for my car ?

you know how much crap is in the engine at first 1,000km service?

You won't need to change the filter, but is a really good practice to get in to. I haven't had a good look under the euro, but it will be a pain in the ass to change it out. No biggie, but it will cost ya.

Hey everybody just wondering , i see some here just take in there own oil ? how is that possible to keep the honda warranty? if the engine dies and you were using other than honda engine oil then you warranty would not be covered right? as i asked if u could bring my own and they were like NO you will void your warranty if you do......plus after the first service do they go full synthetic ?

read all the posts

I had my 10K service today changed oiled to 0w-20 GT1 Titan Fuchs.

The car seems liked its gained a few kiliowatts, it just flys and revs so well.

ive noticed lately that my cars revs are rising a lot slower and the engine feels weeker than it normally would even in the colder weather.

next service they'll hopefully change the oil aswell as the filter. Baboo, where can you get endless oil from? I wouldn't mind taking that in for them to use instead?

Hey Rev - how much did the Fuchs oil cost? I have heard great things about that oil. Is it ok to use in a car that recommends 5w30? It is a little thinner when the engine is warm so I want to make sure it still offers good protection.

How much crap exactly?

Mine actually went slower for the first kms, cause the new car oil is very thin. While normal oil is thicker, so the engine needed to run it through.

Enough that my dealer insisted on changing the oil filter at 1000km.

BTW, did you guys watch the E46 assembly video from the lounge? As soon as they put the engine in and assemble everything together, they put the car on dyno-like machine to test the drive train, all the way up to redline.

If I were as fussy as I was last time, I used different grades of oil for Summer and Winter..

Our weather doesn't get cold enough to be like Japan to require 10W but our weather goes up way higher than the Japanese Summer, thus a higher viscosity is better..

I am actually looking to change to Agip or Motul oil.. haven't tried them before, anyone got comments on these oils?

CHEERS

motul 8100 ex-cess 5w-40 full syn and its the oil oil i used apart from what dealers putted for me...
and yes i did feel the difference with the revvings of the car and responses better :D
the downshiftings are better because i can easily downshift from 3rd to 1st when before the oil change with similar speed that was hard to achieve.
just my little 0.02
and apart from engine oil i've got told that everything else should be OEM :thumbsup:
