hey guyz..Oil Change question..

[SBallerk2]

I have a '93 Prelude VTEC with 182k!! yes I know a lot but oh well it's all I could affort right now..."still better then an Si " LoL anywayz my question is I'm about to do the oil change on my car...maybe next week and well should I use 10W 30 oil? recomemded in the stock air-filter or a lil thicker oil 10W 40?

p.s. what do u guyz use on ur VTEC engines? would use Sys. Oil but my engine has to many MILES already!! LoL...

I use 10W-30 on my 94 vtec lude. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic. I could be wrong, but I don't think switching to synthetic would be bad, just because of high miles. As long as you stick with it once you go to it. You're not supposed to switch back after you put in synthetic.

I recommend synthetic. It stands up to heat better and last longer. I use Castrol GTX high mileage on my 110,000mi civic. i would use Mobil 1 but im a cheap bastard. i use 10w30.

10-30 here.

Kool thankx GUYZ...going to buy 10W 30 but still not sure if it will be Sys. but will be PenzOIL

I was using 20w 50 on my 92 lude with 187k miles....now I use Castrol GTX High Mileage 10w 40. :-) good enough...

I would also recommend synthetic oil BUT.....
you should use a synthetic BLEND for this oil change and for you next change go FULL synthetic. from what i have heard the diffrence is like putting oil and water together.
but once you switch over it should withstand diffrent temps. better. you also won't need to change it as often.

10w-30 is good in warm weather, but when it drops below 20 degrees you need something w-20. If your car uses any oil, the syn. can get expensive at $4/5 bucks a-quart.

h22's use oil neways, but mine uses less with synthetic than it did with blend/ pure dino
