What brand of oil

[aaronng]

Thanks for your late night reply, *yawns* im sooo sleepy, i am touched but you still havent answered my question.

List all BRANDS and their pros and cons

And my answer is still the same, use the search function. Why should I type all that out for you, when it is obvious that you are not after the information for its usefulness.

Errrrr im actually after the information that you claim to have.....its simple, If you dont use Honda's OEM FEO then what IS the best?

The post states "What brand of oil"....therefore im just asking to list every brand of oil that you know which is better than the OEM FEO and provide me the pros and cons so i know that you're not pulling it out your arse and hence it would satisfy my knowledge and leave it at that

everyones going to have their own opinions on brands, and as mentioned before really depends on your engine/condition etc. if your looking for something like feo, i recommend royal purple 10w-40. which is what im planning to use next. Pros so far: its synthetic + will have to exp if there is any difference at all, Cons: will find out if any. in the end, engine oil is engine oil it does what its ment to and not the only requirement to keep your engine in tip top condition.

As he has already stated before, use the SEARCH function, oil brands/preferences has been discussed at length multiple times before.
Aaronng has provided his insight into those discussions, which are easily found if you searched for topics regarding oils.

I don't need to prove anything to you. But if you are after that knowledge, these are only a short list of the oils that are better than FEO in protecting your engine: Castrol Edge 5w-30, Edge 0w-40, Mobil 1 10w-30, Motul xcess 5w-40, Motul 300V 10w-30, Elf Exellium 10w-30, Excellium 5w-40, and the list goes on. These are all Group IV and Group V oils with the exception of Edge 5w-30 which is a Group III. Group III still protects almost as good as a Group IV but does not have its resistance to harsh operating conditions. Of course, this list is only for Hondas as your R32 requires a totally different viscosity which makes this list of oils unsuitable for your engine.

In that case you can start doing your homework by writing up Castrol Edge 5w-30, Edge 0w-40, Mobil 1 10w-30, Motul xcess 5w-40, Motul 300V 10w-30, Elf Exellium 10w-30, Excellium 5w-40 pros and cons

"Its only a short list but the list goes on".....

Now you're involving R32's engine oil?....forget it dude.....you know JACK S#*T about oils, if you dont want to prove all engine oil brands and their pros and cons just say so and leave it at that.

the obvious pro of a better oil is "maintains thin oil film on moving surfaces under high pressure, does not break down under heat and pressure as quick" and the con is "more expensive". That would be the SAME of ALL the oils listed there except for Edge 5w-30 that I mentioned had a con of not lasting as long as the Group IV oil under heat and pressure.

Anyway, I have entertained him enough. If he does not have anything to contribute positively to this forum, then he is not welcomed here.

probably wouldnt hurt to be abit more courteous others.

Sorry to have hurt your feelings, i'll be a little bit more courteous next time

Which Motul oil was this? Do you know the name? Autobarn and Repco sell Motul oils.

For oil filter, yes you can buy it from Honda.
