if you want to be smart come to penrith honda dealer, ask what grade they using and ask why 10 30 recommended
cause thats the big-ass barrel castrol magnetec comes in thats cheap
Seriously, Honda printed the recommended oil ranges on the owners manual AND the workshop manual. Which one the particular dealer uses is up to the dealer as long as it's WITHIN the guidelines. I can photo copy the fkin thing if you dont have one.
Unless the dealer can print me a an OFFICIAL Honda Australia communication dictating the exact viscosity of oil to use, they're just talking out of their arses.
When my car was services by the dealer (years back), dealers used everything from Mobil 2000 10w-40 to Castrol Magnetec 5w-30 and everything in between, depending on who the dealer had supply contract with.
So have now put in 10w40 penrite 10 tenths racing oil... I must say... After a sprinted drive home... It feels delish. I really like it. Car feels really nice and super smooth.
Going in the 10w40 penrite came across as a thinner looking oil... But its 10w40 so.... Whatever I guess. Lol
Car goes in for an inspection and tune on Friday. Will see the results Friday arvo.
Tuning with uni-chip Qbox I believe so will post some results... (Dyno run with H/I/E. And dyno with H/I/E with uni-chip tune)
Cheers guys for the input. Will let u know if the car goes alright on this oil.
Cheers
