yes but the f20c needs light weight oil, so the only thing you can do is keep toping up the oil if its low.
just to make sure, so the 0w-40 and 5w-30 .. the 5 and 0 are same except 5 goes down to -18C and 0 goes to approx -28C ?Quote:

oic .. thats good to know cos recently i bought wrong oil (0w-40) haha and was gonna go swap with my friend for his 5w-50 even tho big difference in price (i dun realli mind lolz) cos i thought would be way too thin for me.
For the Australian climate, 0 and 5 doesn't matter. The 2nd number matters more. 40 is fine, 50 is too thick. Not much point using 50 unless you have an old F22a engine which was specced for 10w-40 before.Quote:

Thinking of trying the 0-40 next as my car has nearly 100km's.
i use full syn elf oil :D awesome oil :D
ive tried
SHELL HELIX ECO-10 (10-30) completely shit...
ROYAL PURPLE (10-40) loss viscosity at about 3500KM shit...
now back to
GENUINE HONDA OIL "FEO" think i will just stick to this..
ive been told not much oil can put up with 9000RPM.. and last the duration it is expected to.. so that explains it...
Shell Helix Eco 10 is fully mineral and cheap.
What about Motul 8100 5w-40? Have you tried that one?
