Oil choice dilemma ....

[TheSaint]

i have always gotten all my gear from Bunbury Honda and KIA (south west australia) i know the parts manager there =)

ill just do a normal change back to FEO 10w30 than - thanks for the help everyone

at least the ultra gave it a good clean out =)

what kind of hondas would benefit from going to Ultra?

[trism]

things like b series with less than 150k kms on them....

k series etc

Interesting thread... I spoke to Honda about this new synthetic oil and they recommended I change over to it saying it would be better for the engine than current Magnatec I'm using (D16Y4, 58,000kms) - now I'm not so sure after reading this....

TheSaints motor has more than 5 times the mileage yours has, you can't really compare the oil he would need to what you would

[Alvis]

it is more the kms an engine has travelled or how old the engine is? Mine's a 98 engine and I just don't know if I should be changing to a fully synthetic oil which has been designed for newer engines rather than one that is 12+ years old...

I use Nulon 10W-40. Does the trick for me

pretty sure Magnatec is 10w-40... might go to FEO 10W-30 on next change

How often do you guys change your oil filters? And what brand do you use?

[markismaximus]

change the filter when you change the oil, use oem filters

you can change your oil filter every 10,000kms. and change your oil every 5,000kms. but theyre only lyk $15 so why not lol

Yep, I used to do my filter every 2nd oil change or 10,000kms, but now started doing filter every 5,000 with oil.

Using Purolator Pure One's atm left over from my Dad's car, so once I use these up just going to get OEM filters from Honda with FEO oil

[mugen_ctr]

use oem oil filter? As if lol... i gave that up few months ago, couldnt be bothered goin 2 honda every 3-4 months, an i think the guy doesnt like me, his always got a angry look on him :S

But anyways, ryco, an vavoline seem to be doing there job... there hasnt been any issue, an plus its not as expensive as hamp is, 12 bucks compared to 18 bucks

[markismaximus]

buy oem filters 3 or 4 at a time
