HONDA GENIUNE OIL... Nothing else.. dont be fooled by other posts.
lol don't be fooled?
FEO is too thin for older engines mate. over 100,000k's u should probably move to something thicker.
using Fuch GTO 10W-40
yes FEO is the best oil for car below 100,000k..
for more than 100,000k but less than 200,000k, I would suggest:
-magnatec 10w/40 - but it is a must to change oil every 5000k
-fuchs gto 10w/40 - recommended semi-syn oil for 5th gen lude
-motul 8100 10w/40 - also recommended semi-syn oil for 5th gen lude, just put it in my car and works very well.
-some people says to use mobile oil, but i won't recommend this, I tried once but my car seems doesn't like it.
what about more than 200k?
I'll suggest motul 15w/50 semi syn oil, which I reckon it will suit.
what about fully synthetic?
I tried once to put fuchs supersyn which is fully synthetic, but seems my car doesn't like it. I havent tried motul 300V chrono, but from some post i've read before, it could be the best full-syn oil for 5th lude/H22A series engine.
More than 200k, I'd still stick to a 10w-40, unless it is the old SOHC F series, which I then would use 10w-50 or 15w-50.
^^ any reason why u prefer to use 10w40 for more than 200k?
Not ALL engines with more than 200k require 10w-50 oil. You can have an engine with over 200k that was treated well with proper warming up before any heavy throttle and had very little wear which can still run 10w-30. :)Quote:

If you need 10w-50 for that 200k engine, all you are trying to do is to mask a problem. I'd rather fix the problem instead.
What do you run on your h22a? 10w-50 because you are burning oil?
nope, i always use 10w40.. my car is still between 100k and 200k range :)
Burning oil is not an issue to my car though...
Based on what I read, it seems quite common for H22a to burn some oil - varies between 300ml to 1000ml per 1000km.. I reckon the normal range would prolly be 300ml to 600ml - but there are some people experience burning 1000ml of oil per 1000km even though they are in 100k and 200k range and using 10w40.
Yeah, but a thicker oil is only a bandaid solution. There are a few stock k24a's in the US that consume over 1000 ml per 1000km for some reason. For those cars a bottom end rebore and rebuild didn't solve the problem and required a shortblock replacement. That's why I suspect that there are many weakened/faulty PCV valves out there in Honda engines. :)
