Went to look for oil today and in Sprints they had a book recommending you on which oil to use.
What does everyone use in their B18A1? I was reading some brands and they suggested 15W/40 for nearly all brands.
I've been reading most people use 5W/30? Or is that for VTEC engines only?
-
how many k's has your's done is the first question. second is how do you drive it. (track days or shopping cart etc.)
mines at almost 300000km running penrite HPR15 since I bought it. motor is still in great condition.
-
It just hit 220k km's, it's my daily, have never been to a track day and don't plan to in the near future.
Mostly daily driving with some hard accel here and there, nothing too stupid.
-
in that case stick with a 15w oil. going thinner like a 5w will result in low oil pressure and will probably burn oil. and going thicker, like a 20w will only accelerate engine wear.
however it also depends on where you are (cold climate/warmer climate)
sticking with a decent brand is well worth your while, no need to go royal purple etc. for daily driving but penrite, nulon or even mobil will keep your motor clean and healthy.

I'll just go with Castrol GTX or Magnatec or something, thanks heaps mate.
-
wouldnt use that to burn a dog personally. but no worries.
-
Oh really? It was on special and I figured Castrol was a decent brand.
My next choice was Nulon so that's fine.
What is wrong with Castrol? Or is it just a cheaper brand?
-
If they spent as much money on developing their product as they do advertising it might be alright.
But they don't so it's pretty much a poor product advertised as a great one.. Would definitely go the nulon any day of the week

would Ek Hatch side skirts fit onto a DA or would i need to source Sedan Side skirts??

My B18a is missing badly from takeoff (900rpm to about 2000rpm but when it's over 2000 it pulls fine! Help!!
-
Haven't changed ur ignition timing? (eg. recently been working on disributor)
-
No mate, nothing has been altered in that area
