Changing da oil in our civics

[l2ice rocketz]

So wat kinda oil do you suggest? and.. how much of it? Its mah 1st honda, and i wanna kno so i can take good care of it for years to come.

I use penzoil, but a lot of people reccomend synthetic stuff. As far as amounts go, lemme find my haynes (yes I know its weak) manual, and I will tell you.

i use Castrol GTX 5w-30 in mine.

For now, I use whatever is cheapest at Autozone.

[bc4g]

mobile 1 10w-30

[Jmunk]

I get whatever is cheap, if i don't care than the motor shouldn't. Just make it think that it's the good stuff when you pour it in, just gotta trick it.

[FourthGenHatch]

Castrol GTX 10-W40.

[plkelley]

Castrol GTX 5w-30 in the winter 10w-30 in the summer

HAHAHA, I actually have never changed my oil ever, there is a place about 2 blocks south of my old high school that does it for like $11.

or 10-W30 pennzoil is no good i wouldnt use quarker state both kinda gunk up and leave a waxy film i'd stick with castrol or valvoline or mobile1 or 76

I only use AMSOIL Or RedLine in my cars and my bikes.

the red line let the motor make more 3hp just by changing the oil on my motorcycle

All motor oils are basically the same now days. Synthetics are the best for high use situations and extreme use situations. Anyway I think quaker state makes some of the best oil.....however I'm not sure if anyone knows this but WAL-MART oil is made by quaker state, so if you want to save a buck buy some WAL-MART 10W-30. It's quaker state. Right now I'm running Castrol Syntec cause it was on sale at Advance Auto

[FourthGenHatch]

Synthetic isn't good to use in an old engine because it will leak easier than regular oil does. Unless your engine has used it since it was new then don't put it in.

[Redline_civic91]

i use redline 10w 40

[turbcivic]

Honda use's GTX 5w-30 in our year civics and recomend using sythetic to help prevent leaks.
