skitzma8 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I am interested to know which is the best engine oil to put in my MA8 as I need to do an oil service, I don't want to just put any make in, I don't mind paying a decent bit of money for it as I want quality oil, the car has covered just over 107k miles and can someone tell me what viscosity engine oil the D14A2 uses please (still waiting on a haynees manual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesyMB6 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I got my last lot of oil from them, i got motul and so far it seems the best i have used, it doesn't seemed to have burnt any yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Think 10 40 should be fine. Big fan of valvoline myself. Cheap and seems good.don't recomend castrol. I used it in two of my Hondas before and both got all ticky on hot starts. Think it must thin out too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
