EG d16y oil reccomendations?

[EG30]

Thanks fellaz, very helpful , i was looking @ penzoil 10w 40 , the original owner used mobil1 seemd alright if it works for ya'll then good enuff for me

Mobil 1 pretty good oil, if you are willing to pay the $70/5L you'll be v happy with it.

Bought it on sale for $60 at Supercheap and used it on my ED9 B16A for exactly 10,000km. Even when at the end of the interval the oil has only deterioated a bit. I normally change the oil every 5,000km.

I replaced the mobil 1 with Nulon 10w40, despite the 40 rating at the warm end, it actually feels thicker at normal operating temp and the eng feels more lethragic than with the Mobil 1 5w/50 before it. So for those who thinks 50 is too thick, not in this case ( on top of the fact that the sae rating has a range where diff viscoities in cst fall into ).

where do i get the stuff from??

If you want bang for your buck and in 10w-30, buy a bottle of Calibre 10w-30from supercheap auto, comes in 5.5L and often on specials for $22-23, normally around $26 or so. It's made by Caltex Aust.

I used to buy valvoline 10w30 for non high performance jap cars, but the Cailbre is now about $5 cheaper and 0.5L more.

The Honda FEO varies in price, depending how much the honda dealer parts guys is willing to cut you a deal ie anywhere from $28-40. And it's not bottled and imported into this country, instead it's supplied by a petroleum company ( someone in this forum mentioned it's from caltex ) and packaged in a Honda FEO labelled container in the very easily achieved 10w-30 oil grade.

yeah im not too sure about this penrite oil.
there's a few occasions when i rev out and i see a cloud of smoke behind me..
any ideas??

[EG30]

prob too thin for your car, the sin0 is 0w40 or 0w50 right?

just try 10w30 at your next oil change, if smoke persists you can try 10w40 after that.

0w-40 and 0w-50 are THICKER than 10w-30 at operating temperature.

lol sounds like that's it!
might try the 0w-50w oil...

Change your PCV valve first. Then try a 10w-40.
