86 accord - what oil to use

[adamc11]

I just purchased a ryco oil filter, 5w40 SN edge (they didn't have any w50) and a cheap sca drain pan, funnel and filter change tool. I won't be changing it for an hour or so. Is this stuff ok? If not, tell me now!

Thanks again.

Just noticed super cheap have 20% off this weekend. Bummer, I purchased this stuff from super cheap.

Anyway, I couldn't change the filter. The tool I got in the kit was too small to fit it by a tiny bit.

Car drives a lot better though, although I can't say the engine sounds quieter.

If the engine is loud, and ticky.. You could have your mechanic re-adjust your tappets.
8-9 thou of an inch on Inlet, 10-11 thou of an inch on Exhaust iirc.
Using a thicker oil will also lessen the noise.

Even the Penrite HPR5 5w-40 (just became full synthetic) would be fine. That's $40 bucks at the moment.

40 should be plenty weigh for daily or even spirited driving.

Speaking about noise, when was the last time the carby / injectors got cleaned
