Castrol Edge Sport 5w-30 VS. FEO on 08' Honda Civic VTI

[aaronng]

Hannys is a Honda specialist. Why would they tell me Honda oil is semi syn?

Honda FEO in Australia is fully mineral. Only the overseas Honda oil is semi-synthetic.

Serviced my car with castrol edge 5w -30 and noticed my engine working harder than before... so far not impressed, fuel usuage seems to be abit more.

always been using mobil1 5w-50

5w-50 seems abit too thick for a fd1.... your engine should run better with the 5-30

whats the RRP for FEOs atm?

Supercheap is having another sale atm Castrol for $41

[migoreng]

FEO is around $40 for 5L
I saw Edge for sale too for $41 on the Supercheapauto site last night. Any idea how often are the $35 castrol edge sales? Supercheap/repco had them late last year.

[m3ntAL_l2]

$35 sale only happened once since mid last yr? from memory

[migoreng]

For 10 days only Supercheapauto has 5w30 Edge 5L for $40
O.o !!

Got myself two bottles of the stuff.

FEO is $44 incl GST in Adelaide.
The Edge was $39. Better oil, cheaper, no brainer.
Just gotta hope that I dont leak oil after my service and they have another special within a year :P

I used to use edge sport now i'm using regular. No difference.

[Tai]

regular what?

No difference in what way?

[Euro08Jaz]

Its only been a couple hundred K's, sorry I mean regular as in whatever honda puts into it during service, I was disorganized and didnt have time to buy the edge sport. But as far as performance or the time it takes to reach operating temp I cant feel or see any noticeable difference.

I feel the best way to promote engine life in regards to oil is change every 5000k's. I'll probably change back in the after exams.

has anybody ever tried Penrite oil?.....tried it awhile back & liked it, great engine response, smoother & quiter ride...any thoughts anyone?

[nigs]

Honda now have a SUPER FEO oil, which is 5w-30 FULL SYN.

I think I paid $53
