Engine Oil for Honda

[interfooler]

Hi all, I was wondering what kind of oil do you use in your honda?

I have a 95 Accord Vti, which was using valvoline oil. It's fine and never had problems, but just wanna know if Caltex is any better?

i use genuine honda, but royal purple is real good

[croatiaboi]

yeah FEO oil is the way to go if you just want something cheap otherwise you can get stuff like Motul and Royal Purple but its more then double the price

i was first using the honda FEO oil but i currently have Motul 8100 X-CESS SAE 5W-40 in there. so far so good.

95 Accord should take 10w-40 oil. So if you want a cheap oil, Mobil Synth S 10w-40 for $32. If your budget is a bit higher, look at Motul 8100 5w-40 for $70.

I am using Valvoline 20-50W is that ok or should I get a 10-40W and if so should I "flush" with something first?

its always good to flush it if your bothered but people usually dont bother.
i personally would, to get more of the crap inside out...

personally dont recommend using a flush of any kind. It can displace carbon or gunk and lodge it elsewhere that maybe detrimental to your engine. Just change the oil every 5,000ks and filter every 5-10,000ks , that should keep any sludge buildup clear of your engine.

PS i recommend honda FEO for all honda engines.

how much is the honda oil?

and what numbers is it?

[bennjamin]

about $26-32 depending on dealer. its 10w-30w rated.

flush FTW! especially on older cars.

as above i dont agree. Engine oil flushes are something that most European car service departments use to add that extra money ontop of every service bill. They are not required on any engine - and can deem dangerous on older engines so not ftw lol. A consistent oil change will keep crud and sludge out of your engine.
