50000km what oil to use?

[oat.iphone]

50000km is not old. My car has almost 80000km and I am using 5w-30 with no problems. Works good on the race track as well. Castrol Edge 0w-40 is a good oil, just expensive when not on sale.

As for your ambipur damage, unfortunately the only way is to change the radio/aircon console panel. That was what they had to do for my damage too.

damn, how much ur ones cost for replacement, was the ambipur cover its for u as it's their product fault, dribbed outta nowhere in the real hot days...DAMN

Did you mount yours straight or at an angle? Get Ambipur to pay for the replacement then. Mine was caused by error, hence the repair was carried out at no charge.

i just put its straight as the direction on box, i called ambipur on wed, they gave me referrence number, they will contact me back to get their assessor to have a look to see what they can do, until now i havent heard off them, now all i do everyday is clean its with water soaked clothes then wipe its again with the armorall dashboard protection, trying to get the shining back, it's seem abit better but still can visibly see the white stain, went for the quote @ panel beater, they said $5166 as i'll have to change the whole lots of control+air vent panel, i'm trying to upload pic but doesnt seem like i can @ all, i dunno WHY

Supercheap, autobarn, repco

Castrol Edge 0w-40 - $69.99 full synthetic
Castrol Edge 5w-30 - $50 mineral but hydrocracked as synthetic
Motul 8100 xcess 5w-40 - $69.99

hey all

just something else to throw in the mix.

shell have re-done their helix ultra range, ive been using their 5w-40 synthetic in my 03 euro and its been running nicley on it, seems to rev a bit smoother right to the redline, definately better than what the previous owner had been using.

Ive had few people raving about Nulon's 10w-40 full synthetic at work aswell

i'd followed the instruction to registered with photobucket, i just copy da link off their, trying to pasted its in the upload url box, came up as INVALID links, tried this like around 10+ times neither to da option of upload straight from hdd, all shown UPLOAD failed, any suggestion?

anyway i'd made up my mind on da oil to be use, guess i'll just go for the 5W40 else 5W35 either castol edge or valvoline, they ranges around 50-60/5 litres container, how much oil will we be using to change the engine oil in this service? will its eat up all 5 ltrs or not that mcuh n i should just buy 2 ltrs bottle instead?

You'll need 4.2-4.5L depending on how long you let it drain. Buy a 5 litre bottle. Two 2 litre bottles are the same price as 5L.

oh ok, just search around again, seem there is no thing such 5W35 only seen 5W30 else 5W40 or 0W40, which brand are the best among all these lines

ELF, VALVOLINE, SHELL HELIX, MOTUL? which one would u choose if u have to pick one outta all?

i sourced all these range around 50-60 buckz so gonna get them tomorrow, still decide if


1. i should just follow the log book, bring my own engine oil+filter[again should i get original honda or just any aftermarket type, will it make much noticable in performance?]... that will cost me $60 for labor,altogether around $130

or

2. get its done full services @ automaster livor, for $198 subtract with the cost of oil+filter[once again forget to ask how much cheaper would its be for bringing my own stuffs, well barry said aBIT cheapo but hope he wont come up with rediculous thing such 20 buckz cheaper with my own parts]...this will cover alots of stuff eg. wiper blade replace, all fluid top-up include coolant, computer tunes, car wash etc... eieiei will also get free REGO for the kids too...anyway i never run honda car before so i dont really know if all the parts&fluid have to USE ITS ORIGINAL to perform the best or just any aftermarket will do[ assuming automaster will be using ANY AFTERMARKET parts&fluid in this major service since it's quite cheaPO]

WHICH OPTION SHOULD I GO FOR?

PS: state both option will sign the logbook and this is 50k services[after i just bought this car for 3 weeks]

I got Castrol Edge 5w30 for $40 when Supercheap had it on special. Ive driven about 1000ks with it, engine feels smoother and got abit more mileage.

I suggest you stay with OEM filters and fluids.
