When you do an oil change, fill it up with 4 litres first and then check the dipstick after waiting about 3 minutes. Top up to the maximum mark.Quote:

It may not be synthetic but our car isnt JDM either therefore Australian-delivered Honda motors should be perfect with Australian OEM Honda oils.Quote:

What does JDM have to do with using a synthetic over a mineral?Quote:

I suggest you read the thread ----> "What brand of oil"Quote:

This is a Honda forum isnt it?...Why would you want to go out and stress about other different brands. You'll be drilling your head in thinking about which other brands to buy. There are lots of brands to begin with, stick to the basic with OEM Honda FEO, it is the best bet and the most simplest choice.
If its produced by Caltex, so be it, i dont give a rats ass as long as what Honda provides and within their specs im happy with it
You can just answer the question with a single sentence, or you can go deeper and explain the differences between the different types of oil that one brand uses and the differences between those different ranges so that the member can then make a choice with more information to guide him or her.Quote:

Why do you think so many members buy Motul, Elf, Royal Purple, Amsoil, Mobil, Castrol oil when "simple" OEM oil is suitable (at least for the first 7000km on a stock engine :))Quote:

I think if you wanna get a bit more technical, hey, feel free to post EVERY oil brand in here and tell us all the cons and pros if you have plenty time to sit around the house/work coz im interested to read it all.....LMAO
By the way best of luck choosing the "Right" oil....Hahahahahaha.
YES and you said they have fine wine and we piss on beer, its just an example i made how we dont have JDM machines (wine) and get a tuned-down AUDM machine (beer)...so whats your point????Quote:

You dont understand what im writing as an example do you? maybe you oughta go back to
Yes, OEM oil is suitable. But, the question is whether OEM oil is best value for your dollar? If I can get Castrol Edge 5w-30 for the same price as OEM oil (which we do regularly during Supercheapauto sales), then I will do so. Why? Because it protects the engine better and it also tends to resist the formation of gum deposits when you expose oil vapour that is recirculated through the PCV system back into the hot inlet ports and valves. I have even had one of my cars running mineral oil end up with a gummed injector because of this. You don't need to have to race your car illegally on the street to have a reason to go for good oil to protect your $20,000-50,000 investment (albeit a depreciating one). To put it simply, why would you eat mince beef everyday if you could have steak everyday at the same price?Quote:

Now, that is very misleading to the other users here, especially those who know Ichishima's influence but don't know the context on which his statements were made.Quote:
