[DNY*BOY]

Hey peepz just wondering if anyone uses penzoil? And if so how does it go , what oil do you other d series fans use on your motors?

[beeza]

Any good brand oil is fine.I prefer a semi or full synthethic ol in my d.Every 2-3 oil changes I try something different

i use Mobile 1 fully synthetic every 5,000km
change oil filter every 10,000km.

if you want to go the cheaper option, semi synthetic is also fine.

You NEED to state which Mobil1 you are using. Is it the silver 5w-50 or the gold 5w/10w-30?


What is the viscosity of the penzoil you are looking at? Ideally, you want one of the viscosities below, going thicker as your car gets older.

0w-30
5w-30
10w-30
0w-40
5w-40
10w-40

for D series I use something cheap =p kidding... OEM oil is pretty good, I recommend OEM any day unless if your car is like a track monster then OEM won't cut it... different scenario though..

[aaronng]

OEM is good because it is the correct viscosity. Just change it often and you'll rarely go wrong.

[shadou]

exactly why bother going to the shop and looking for the correct one when Honda has done it for you... it's not even expensive.

[beeza]

OEM is great but I like trying different flavours

[shadou]

there is no other flavors

Mobil 1 silver here for my D series. Pretty slack changing at about every 6-8k I've really gotta be less lazy...

Too thick in my opinion. Mobil1 Silver is a 5w-50 oil. I'd rather Motul 8100 5W-40, which is also slightly cheaper at $65.
