EG d16y oil reccomendations?

[EK1.6LCIV]

when in doubt mate go the factory recommended oil, Honda oil and filter ftw, may seem dear compared to other brands but is worth it in protecting your engine. You think that Honda's Engineer's didn't do proper testing to ensure a balanced product, I've taken the pepsi challenge in the past with oils and it's your car, it's worth using proper lubricants.

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

Hmmm,

I've got the thinner penrite sin 0 in there now and it blows a bit of smoke at higher revs sometimes... :s

I got same engine. I got OEM oil now but if u want something different i used Valvoline Gold Egine armor 15/40, pretty good for the price though $25 for 6L last time i got it.

Damn, my reply is late. Sin0 is a 0w-50 oil, which is thicker than 10w-40.

It's good. Once my 4 bottles of Edge 5w-30 that I bought for $30 is finished, I'm going back to 8100.

do you guyz think castrol magnetic is alright for my engine with 120000km on it?

[aaronng]

Magnatec will be fine. Just change it every 7000km maximum.

ive got about 180thousand on my d15, and its blowing a bit of smoke under acceleration.

id say the rings are fucked, what do you recomend though something a bit thicker? like a 10w40?

Black smoke or white-blue smoke? Change the PCV valve first. You can use 10w-40, but I don't think it will make much of a difference.
