Servicing DC2 at Home

Hi,

I searched but didnt find exact answers to all of these. For a 1995 Integra VTI-R with 140KM on the clock, what's the;

1. Best Engine Oil?
2. Fuel Filter. OEM?
3. Spark Plugs. NGK? Which ones? Which model do I want?

Thanks

prolly say a 15w oil use mobil or penrite,, dont use synthetic,
oem oil filters are cheap from the dealer..
just use normal plugs ngk,bosch or champion i reccoment ngks
dont go for the irridums or platnums cause there more for longevity rather then offer performance

il say 10W motul if you have the cash, if not penrite is okay.
oem the white one for 15 bucks or so is pretty good.
plugs start from 3 bucks each up to 40 each.

what about oil filter? go oem for everything but plugs, NGK

When you buy oil, you buy based on the viscosity and not the brand. So get a 10w-30 oil. You can also use 0w-30, 5w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40 or 10w-40. Nothing higher, and don't go thinner. Castrol Edge comes in 5w-30 for $60, Magnatec in 10w-40 for $27.

Don't trust those guide booklets, they only show you the range of oil that they are trying to promote.

Your teg is meant to use 10w-30. If you want to stay at the same price as the oil you've been using (I assume Castrol GTX3 in the red bottle?), then Magnatec 10w-40 is a good alternative. If you want to spend more, go for Castrol Edge 5w-30.

BTW, your plugs are NGK-branded BKR6E-N-11. If you want longer lasting plugs (iridiums that last 100,000km), but cost 5 times more expensive, then the part number is BKR6EIX-11. I recommend the regular plugs as they are cheaper to replace if your engine is running too rich or lean (damages the plugs).
