Anything thicker or thinner fucks with the VTEC solonoid, and can affect its engagment times.

ROFLMAO @ Chuck's first post
 Chuck - I run Mobil 1 5-50 in the SiR - always have. It's what all the B series engines are running in Oz from what I can see - even my brother's ITR was running it.

 my cousin runs shell helix in his suzuki baleno, and it runs fine, but tends to burn quickly.... but with the way he drives...I'm not suprised. I used to use caltex magnatec in my 3rd gen, and mum uses it in her civic....really good for non vtec engines...get real good fuel economy on it. I remember changing from gtx2 to magnatec, and I'd be getting an extra 100 - 150 kms out of a tank!

Maybe if I only put two litres in I'll save 2.4 Kgs. And my VTEC will still work because of my controller.............
