DC5R motor oil

[didz]

Hey guys, might seem like a complete noob question to you guys but considering im a new to hondas im not quite sure.
Which engine oils do you chaps recommend for me to use for my DC5R? Keep in mind that i am not using my type r for racing, just driving and the occasional fang around mountain/hume/princess/burwood hwy's

A mate recommended mobile one or castrol magnetec but i dunno....

Go for one of these viscosities: 0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40, 10w-40.

Brand-wise, depends how much you want to spend. Honda FEO is alright and cheap (mineral oil). I prefer Castrol Edge 5w-30 ($50) or 0w-40 ($65-70), full synthetic.

yeh? i was told not to for something too light because vtec burns it :/

if you are just going to be doing what you have described you will be doing, then FEO (oem engine oil) is more than adequate.

just change it every 5000km

How fast do you rack up the K's? I do 10k in 6 months so I use a 10W-30 fully synthetic for that interval rather than 3 monthly FEO changes.

[Tofu]

it also depends on how hard you drive during those 5k - 10k within 3 - 6 months.

VTEC doesn't burn oil. Your engine does. How is the oil consumption now? FEO is 10w-30. So at operating conditions, all the oils I listed would have the same viscosity or higher.

Na dont get Castrol Magnetic. Get something decent like Mobil1 or Motul.

Doesnt Honda also sell high performance oil on top of the normal Honda FEO?
Honda FEO-R ftw

The only Mobil1 that he should be putting into his car is the 10w-30 which comes in the gold bottle.

And Honda Aus only sells the mineral FEO. They don't sell this:

proconcept used motul oil on my car today
car is running awesome

Proconcept uses 8100 and 300V. Good stuff and good workshop!

I was under the assumption we could order high performance FEO for people with NSX's and S2000's, I guess the "high performance" FEO oil is just the normal Honda FEO stuff then...

Maybe destrukshn can clarify this
