Have done a search....Civic EG Vti Engine Oil

I have done a search and couldn't find an answer to my question. What engine oils would you recommend for a Civic EG Vti and what is the engine oil stated in the instruction manual for this car (I don't have one :( )?

get OEM honda oil - reccommended is FEO high performance oil.

$30 ish for 5l from your local honda dealer.
Probably the best oil to get.

Mobil 0-40??? WTF?? yeah if you want to change the oil every 2.5k, why not try motul 0w-20 in that case.

motul turbolight 10w-40, or technosythese 5w-40 should do the trick (these will require a fastidious oil change and new filter every 5k)

I had a look at the Service Manual for USDM EG Civics and it said the following:

API Service Grade: Use "Energy Conserving II"
SG grade oil 5 W - 30 preferred

I would like to confirm with someone if that meant all EG Civics because it didn't specify which engine should use what oil.

i think the key word in that sentence is "preferred".
