EG d16y oil reccomendations?

[slidetaker]

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

On paper yes...but practically no...

0W50 has to be made up with huge amount of VII....which will shear in no time....I am guessing after 1000km to 2000km. It will become 0W40, which will be thinner than 10W40...

and you would wonder why no big oil manufacturer makes 0W50.....

i use ELF 10w50 as recommended by Hannys

Epic thread,this is really helping everyone out.
Mobil 8100 5W-40 ftw!

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.

will do

but the car is due for a change anyways, so ill chuck it 10w40 anyways

Not much difference once the engine is warmed up. The only difference is during cold start. Just use 5w-40 at your next oil change.

I didn't really like the Shell Ultra 5w-40, even if it was cheap. lol

wat u guyz think of castrol gtx3 15w40... the website says its made for cars from 1995

Sorry to bump an old thread. My car is due for another oil change. I drove 4500km in 6 months on Castrol Magnatec 10w-40. Should I go the same or opt for Honda OEM stuff? Do you just purchase that stuff from any Honda dealership?

Car is a 94 EG Civic Gli hatch with 81,xxx kms atm on the D15. Is there much difference between the D15 and D16.

Cheers

Both are pretty similar and at a similar price. If you don't have problems with magnatec now, you can keep using it.
