DC2R oil?

[Fluffy]

just wondering what type of oil is good to use for a dc2r?

[bennjamin]

before anyone else suggests....

FEO oil - rated 10w-30w is the best for a honda DC2R. And all hondas IMO , stock or modified.

Just change it every 5,000ks and you will never have an issue.

Why is that?

I like to change my oil, depending on seasons etc...

Mr Spoon and Mr J's racing answer, when I asked them this exact question was... there is no "Right" oil for a DC2R. Stock OEM oil, is good, and fine to use. However... if you are circuit racing in hot Australian climates, a thicker, 10w-40 could be used. It's all down to personal preference. As long as it's not too thick, like a 10w-60 or something, then your engine wouldn't move.

i've tried a 5w30 and it burns too quick if regardless if i vtec a lot or not.. too thin and ends up on the catchcan to quickly

10w40 magnatec is a no-no... you can actually notice a reponse/fuel economy loss.

FEO is

but benny... isn't FEO mineral? coz i wen't from 10w30 synthetic back to the mineral FEO and i always thought that was a no-no to once you convert....

if your on the cheap (which is a poofteenth difference considering 5000km change intervals) Castrol XLD lo-vis 10w30 is only like $23 at supercheap for 5l...

[bennjamin]

VTEC - just IMO. It is mineral , and you change it every 5,000ks or less so its never an issue. Correct its up to personal preference but from what ive seen and heard and experienced you cannot go wrong with FEO. IMO.lol.

Maybe that's an old wives tale? I switch back and forth.

No, I use 10W-40 in my DC2R in summer for track/street. IMO, I feel it safer than using 10W-30, or 5W-30 in hot weather. In winter 5W-30 = WIN.
From what I have found... with 5w-30, engine looses power around 115-120 degrees, where as 10w-40, I have taken oil temp to 120-130 and engine still goes strong. I'd also recommend using a thicker oil for an older engine (100,000km's +).

Yeah FEO, from Honda dealer... isn't it like $30 for 5L?

All of the above is IMHO, and experiences. LOL

You can use it if you want to. I stick to 0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40 or 10w-40. Nothing else.

[tekung89]

jus a personal thing.

colder times of the year: 5w-30, 10w-30
hotter times of the year: 5w-40 or 10w-40

with most of the hondas i've owned

atm im using motul 4000, loving it as well
