Any best Synthetic Oil for euro?

[aaronng]

I average about 10,000km/year. I would say that I do average at least 1 good 20-30 minute drive a week to properly warm up the car and the oil.

I'm about to change the oil at around 15500km now with Honda FEO (SL)... but will consider something like ELF Exellium from 20,000 or 30,000km for 10,000km intervals.

My CRV is about to get it's 40,000km service and the last oil change was 31,000 about a year ago.

The reason for the 6 month service intervals is because the engine oil is also used to drive the i-VTEC mechanism. The oil may still be good for the engine, but if there is any sludging, that could jam or deposit in the VTC or VTEC oil channel components.

Or you can try redline oil or royal purple oil, they are one of the best around as well. PM me if you want them, I know someone who sells them cheap.

Redline i think is designed to be left in for 20k but at $120(i think for 5 ltrs)you'd be better using a cheaper oil and changing it at 10k.

true, but he's after the best synthetic oil and apparently price isn't his concern.

by the way, I can easily get 5 litres just under $100

Use ONLY Honda ATF.

Use ONLY Honda ATF.

Any reason/s why?

Any reason/s why?

Because for some reason, the shifting quality is worse with other ATF. Plus you get slightly more wear on the clutch pack.

Thanks Aaron, But I was referring tot he Auto box, not the manual. Is this still applicable to the Auto?

[petsfact]

he is talking about auto

[fleeball]

ok will stick with the Honda ATF. Thanks for your help

[aaronng]

Yup, talking about the auto. The auto has 2 clutch packs which is computer controlled.
