1000km oil change - which oil to use?

[tony1234]

Yeah, but he already has a bottle laying around.

I suppose he could try and exchange it, if he really wanted to.

Yeah he could try and exchange it.i still wouldn't use it even if it was for free.

If you can't sell it or exchange it. You could consider mixing.

Go to Autobarn, grab a bottle of Mobil 1 5W30 silver bottle silver cap, then do a 50% 5W30 and 50% Mobil 1 5W50 for your next oil change. That will result in a viscosity around 5W40. All Mobil 1 are compatible.

In terms of the method of mixing, there are brands, viscosity and proportion one would try. However, a case of mixing Mobil 1 and 50% proportion is as safe as you will get using the mixing method. Going further than this, most people get more misses than hits meaning not getting a good result.

anyone know where i can get 'crush washers' from? so i can replace it when i put the sump plug back on?

i'm usually lazy and don't replace it if the washer still looks fine, but since they're cheap as chips i'm thinking why not.

is there anything i need to know about crush washers, besides getting the correct size? like are there different ones made out of different materials?

what's the washer size for the euro's sump plug? i'm too lazy to open my workshop manual...lol

Get it from any hardware shop that sells car parts/tools like Autobarn or Bursons. It uses a 10mm aluminium crush washer.

Can you boys tell the difference in oils?

I can't.

BTW, I run full synth 15w50 in my 13:1 comp 12,000rpm dirtbike, and I can't tell the difference between 15w50 and 10w40, besides the 15w50 seems to last longer.

Can't go wrong with Honda FEO 10w-30 Mineral but you have to buy the bottle yourself. I don't know of ANY honda dealer that uses FEO oil as their regular service oil as they buy drums of Shell helix.. Magnatec etc. It's interesting that it's very hard to find another mineral 10w-30 engine oil.

buy it from honda and ask for the washer its another 75 cents. use honda oil on ure car.

royal purple and motul okai aswell
