The Oil Thread Explained

[tinkerbell]

What does SE and SF mean?

they are old API ratings

What oil do u recommend for a 88 CRX non-vtec, engine has done 320,000km and doesn't blow smoke?

for Sydney, I’d say 10W-40

i have done an oil change with 15-40w but that rattling sound u mentioned in ur first thread occured right after, toO thin? pretty thick to me.

rattling might indicate you have a serious problem with your engine. if it started straight after the oil change - you have done something wrong and should seek to remedy it immediately.
