Did I mess up with that oil?
Hi folks.
Greetings from Europe. I drive 2009 Honda Accord (called TSX in America), 2.0 l gasoline engine, 156 hp.
Today I changed my oil and put that one:
http://www.mobil.co.uk/UK-English-LC...ula-5w30.aspx#
It is Mobil1, ESP 5w30 advertised in Europe as fully synthetic, though it is not really fully synthetic since it is from class III. However, the oil is recommended for diesel engines and gasoline ones too. I was fool enough not to read carefully the specs and it turns out it is rather for diesel instead of gasoline engines.
Should I drain it and put another one?

Is your car powered by either gasoline or diesel?
Because that oil is for gasoline or diesel engines. I don't see why you wouldn't use it. Mobil1 will probably burn off a little...so check your oil often.

Dude, you're fine. "Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 is recommended for all types of modern automobile engines, especially the high-performance gasoline and diesel engines found in the latest passenger cars, SUVs and light vans."
Where are you getting this deisel only spec from?
