    Engine Oil for B16A1 with under 150,000kms?

    What engine oil should I be using?

    Also what clutch/brake fluid is recommended?

    lol a search would have cleared this up real quick man

    get some Honda FEO Ultra 5w30 and use that until it hits 200k kms - than switch to regular Honda FEO 10w30

    everything else should just be OEM Honda as well

    I did do a quick search and found your thread about FEO Ultra and Regular... but then got confused when people started bringing in number of kms into it. haha

    At the moment I've got 15W-40... an UltraTune mechanic put it in =/ Is it gonna cause much of a problem?

    Are you sure about the Ultra 5w30? I remember I read in that thread that the Ultra wasn't recommended for pre-2002 Honda's?

    Honda FEO 5w30 for engine less than 180,000-200,000km
    Honda FEO 10w30 for engine after >200,000km

    Any synthetic with 5W-30 for the life of the thing
    You may start burning some later in life, but in that case you just top up a little. Id rather have the slightly better protection at start up the 5W affords. Along with the longer change interval.

    Personally I prefer to stick with 10W-40. Nulon for my baby, Castrol Magnatech for my daily.

    FEO is overpriced for what it is.
