Synthetic Oil for Euro

Re: CU2 using oil.

If you ever get the chance, put a cl9 and a cu2 camshaft side by side, you can see the difference in quality.

That aside, the actual problem is the piston rings and piston not matching properties causing oil consumption.

Only way to fix it is new pistons and new piston rings according to acura Tsb

Is the HX8 5w-30 better than the Ultra 5w-40?

Edit: Scratch that, just looked up the regular price of HX8 and it's about $50 compared to $80 for Ultra

You reckon they will sell out fast? I usually am never able to make it into the stores until Sunday.

Yup
Find your local store and ask if they can set aside one for you

My 2010 CU2 is currently at 90,000km and is booked in for service at Honda next Thursday. Should i bring my own oil (if yes, what should i buy) or use the one provided by Honda?

Cheers
