nice to know... i think i'll change mine next time now too. And what oil do you guys use - i think Magnatec (I do a lot of short trips - Wollongong ain't that big lol) is a semi-synthetic. But i've heard if you use a full synthetic it's not good for the seals...???
I like to think it does It's hard to say because I also got an exhaust at around the same; but at the end of the day I think it's the same theory as what they say about using 98 octane fuels like V Power: you don't really get the full (or possibly any) benefit unless you continuously use the product over an extended period of time.
Hence the label which says to use it every 4 fills
Spoke to Honda last week and they told me they are coming out with a new fully synthetic FEO oil within the next month or so. The current FEO is a semi-synthetic.
I questioned if for a 98 Civic if it was best to stick to semi (was worried about seals) but said he would actually recommend full over semi
ALSO, how much do you guys pay for your FEO oil? My local dealer is asking $44 for 5 litres (trade price because we've bought 2 Hondas from them)...
