What oil are u using for your integra

[aaronng]

So i just recently got a DC5R and have been trying to research which oil to use, i use my dc5 as a commuter and bit of windy roads driving, with a bit of thrashing here and there.

Reading this thread, i have no idea what all these oil ratings mean?

anyone mind helping a fella help?

Sorry for thread revival.

cheers.

Daily commuter, Honda FEO.

Castrol edge 5w - 30w - Fine for winter season.

Might go to a 40w for summer.

I think more importantly though is how often you change your oil.

Every 5000K's I do.

yup, previous owner changed it every 5000kms, i don't plan to change that.

so i guess i'd go the castrol 5w-30w for now?

mobil1 0w-40w...

[Fuzz21]

the ratings are to show the thickness of the oil. hondas like using a thinner oil then most other cars. and also the temp the oils are recomended for. your user manual should say the oem oils wouldnt do you wrong./
but if u want something a little better. id say a fully synthetic oil. i use motul 8100 5w40. i rate it and so would many others. its up 2 your pocket i suppose

Now using...

Royal Purple 5w30 w/ K&N Oil Filter

Pros:
- Made engine noticably quieter and smoother...
- Seems to of improved responsiveness but other variables could of effected that.
- Extended Drain Periods
- It's actually purple... lol

*Seems much better than Motul 300V* When I used motul 300V same weight...it made the engine very chattery, noisy and rough...flushed the oil straight away and moved to fuchs synthetic until I decided to go with Royal Purple xD

Cons:
- Expensive (Approx $85/5L)

Scrap the Penrite...Although this may sound bias I have no major issues with any other oil but Penrite... and scrap that viscosity

I would use a 10w30 or 10w40 depending how many k's your car has done preferable in Mobil/Motul or OEM. If you actually research it you will find that Australian OEM oil is refined by Caltex...so anything along those lines will do. I personally would go for a trip to a honda dealer and purchase a few bottles of OEM...you cant go wrong with oem and at $32 for 5 Litres...the price is good too.

Honda FEO. If you are not happy with oil consumption with FEO go up to a 10W-40 semi-synthetic and see if it improves.
