That doesn't sound right - when my dealer has used my 5 litre bottles I always get the bottle returned with some oil back - at least 1/2 a litre.Quote:

I checked the books, it's 4.2 Litres with Oil Filter....
holy crap where's my 0.8 litre of oil gone to?
I personally saw 5 litre of oil adding through.....strange.
I'm sure you tightened the filter and drain plug properly?Quote:

By the way, is magnatec 10-40 or 10-30? This is because my dealer state that Magnatec FMX is 10-30 but castrol website states that it is 10-40.
P/S AccordEuro13, Do u want a coupon for 20% discount in Autobahn in Victoria? Could be used to buy Motul oil I hope since they are listed as distributor.

Magnatec is 10w40. your dealer might have confused it with Honda's oil which is 10w30.
matell how do u find that mobil 1 oil?
i'm thinking about changing over to it.

Absolutely No Group Buy Talk in here!!!:D
I also had my 40k service last Friday & had the same, only a little oil back. They tell me it was because they take the rocker covers off to adjust the valve clearances & they manage to drain more oil out than on a standard oil change?? :confused:Quote:

Think I'll stick with buying the FEO 10w30 and take it to the dealers.
(Note: it was the same when I had my Nissan, they sell bottled 7.5w30 nissan oil at the parts centre but service centre use drums of something else. However, I just bought the Honda FEO 10w30 for them to use on my nissan anyway. Somehow I trust Honda more. :D )
Was it necessary to do the valve clearance at 40,000km? Is it in the service book (even for harsh conditions)?
Did you have valve tapping issue?
