NIKH25 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I always use 10w40 as that is Hondas recommendation and I don't use a drop of oil between changes. It would be worth trying 5w40 in yours as it is quite a low miler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Cheers Nick. Is that a fully synthetic or a semi you use?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's a semi, Mobil Super something or other they keep changing the name. I find it's a decent oil and doesn't break the bank as I change every 3k I don't really want to be paying £40-50 each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I also use 5w40 in mineWhich brand do you use Tom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Motul fully synth. Far to much time on gran tourismo Ha the advertising has worked!! Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Motul semi 10/40 for me or Mobil super S or whatever its called now. Regular changes are the key to a happy B/D series. Motulgear in the 'box too (solved a few problems but still a little crabby to get into reverse when cold). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Opie also do HAMP filters now- I found the valve helped with cold startup; no idea if it's better than going for 5w oil though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah I've seen they do Hamp. Great filters for these engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
