CD/CB Accord (VTI) Preferred OIL

[Joeyboy]

As per the title. Tried to search but it doesnt seem like this topic has been covered with CD/CB accords yet. Just wanting to know what the general opinion is with the type of OIL that is used for V-tec engines. I've been using Magnatec.

WHAT DO PPL USE (or recommend)???

Mobil1 oil ;p on mine f22b1 turbo LOL !!..

i used gt3 they werent that bad..
you might want to got like 20w/40 ish? coz engine is old.. and 20 25 is more likely better on higher kms engine..

but honda were like 10w or 15w and still ok.. basicly if you change your oil every 5 K get something that suits your budget.

Gt3, magnatec is ok. might wanted to try motul or mobil1 i heard they were much better.

yeh i change mine every 5k kms, and the reason why i use magnatec is the guy from supercheap recommended it. viscosity 10w-40w. that's y i wanted to ask u guys coz he might not know about vtec engines...if it makes any difference at all.

i guess that would be the BEST option...how much does it cost?

Motul, whats the viscosity on that? i'll have a look at supercheap for that next time im there. i jsut dont wanna spend too much $$$ on oil where i know that something that's $40 is more than good enough for an engine that's under 12yrs old. but thanks for the tip, definitely look into it.

I'll have a look on the bottle tomorrow and let you know? But it's not cheap the motul oil i use is the top one i'll post the exact name tomorrow but it's about $100. I don't know if they will stock it at supercheap i get it at autobarn. A lot of people will say it's not worth putting oil that costs that much into my engine but i know i can rely on it. And thats the main thing. Also i drive it pretty hard.

GT3 is terrible. It gums up if your engine operates at high temperatures.

His engine is from the CB/CD. Those need 10w-40 standard and can go up to 15w-50. Your engine needs 10w-30 and can only go up to 15w-40.

You're probably using 300V. Good oil.

Magnatec is ok. You can stick to that unless you want to go synthetic. If you do, then just look for a 10w-40 synthetic. Most synthetics are 5w-40 though.
