What brand of oil

[Trice]

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.

Well im not sure, thats why im kinda asking lol, a motul racing oil which is suitable for around 170000kms :s

There is the Motul Xcess 5w-40, which is a fully synthetic group IV, and then above that you have Motul 300V, which is a Group V (there should be a range of viscosities available, I think). 300V is very expensive though. I'd say go for Xcess but monitor the oil level weekly incase your engine is burning oil.

Im pretty sure its burning or leaking(?) oil as i serviced the car only about 3000kms ago, tx for the reply

sorry to hijack the thread..but given that there are many better oils out there than OEM honda is it still okay to use honda oil? the thing is i just got a minor service (105 000kms) from hannys and they gave me honda oil.. i did ask for fully synthetic but i've been told that they only have elf 10w-50 which is really thick and is only used if my engine is burning a lot of oil..

so assuming that money isn't really an issue should i go and get the oil changed to something fully synthetic or is it actually fine to use honda oil as long as you change it every 5000kms?

btw this is for a daily driven dc2r with occasional vtec

thanks

Don't worry. Just drive the car as per normal and change the oil out in 5000km.

Hi guys,

I have been searching on the net and this forum for what type of oil to use on a type S but have had no luck so thought I would ask here.

I have just purchased a 2006 type S that has done 75,000kms... I have noticed that the 70,000km service was not done by previous owner so I am going to service it now and then again at the 80,000km mark

What brand and type of oil would you recommend for the Type S engine... the car is being used usually for daily under 10km at a time drives during monday to friday and vtec a few times... on the weekend I would usually drive the car longer then that and use the vtec a bit more

Would appreciate your advice and sorry if this has been answered previously cause I couldnt find it
Thanks

Look here. Also applies to the Type S. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ght=engine+oil

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction... so I guess after reading that it seems like the honda feo or if you want to go premium then the mobil 1 or motul

For medium cost but good protection, Castrol Edge 5w-30 is an option too. It is good value if you buy it during supercheapauto's 20% off sale.

[minircc]

agree with aaronng. i have used Castrol Edge 5w-30 for a long time now and it is a good oil.
i have also tried many different oils over the past 10 years.

I bought mobil 1 fully synthetic 5w-30 for my car going to put it in my car for next service integra vtir. what do you guys think of mobil?

For my past 3 services have been using this stuff. Works great, barely losing any oil, got 170k on engine.
I've been wanting to try motul 8100v, but haven't had time to as mobil1 seems to be working great for me, going to try genuine Honda FEO 10w-30 as i already bought it for my next service next week .

[aaronng]

FEO 10w-30 is a full mineral oil. So don't expect it to be as smooth as Edge 5w-30.
