5th Oil. what oil do u use?

[Hans Bond]

this might be a stupid comment..
but i reckon the 5th gen prelude is mysterious..

based on what I read in www.preludeaustralia.com,

there are some 5th gen who never experience oil loss even you hit vtec a lot.. while some of them lose 1 litre of oil every 1k...

Same thing happens to some of the 5th gen auto tranny for 97-98 model which never failed at all.. while some of them fail more than three times before 100k..

you will know if the balance shaft pops out, you would lose 5 litres in like 5 minutes.

Balance shaft oil plug. Beef up your reading skills. Skipping one or two words is not good.

its actually called the balance shaft seal to be exact. Theres a language centre near my work, so if you like the number dont be affraid to ask.

Has anyone tried Amsoil? I just did an oil change on my car with it. We just had a track day a couple weeks ago and the guys that were using it were raving about it. None of them burnt any oil that day. More and more of the them are switching over to it. I went from the German Castrol 0W30 to Amsoil XLF 5W30.

Just changed my gearbox fluid today. The new Honda MTF is better than the old one so far. No more notchyness in my gearbox. New one is colourless, while the old one is golden in colour.
