Re: HELP....stupid newbie question (lucidvtec)
you'll be fine with regular engine oil used on a honda. make sure u pour a little oil in the turbo bearing or prime the oil system prior to startup.

Re: (NotUrAvgSi)
One little thing, if it is a brand new motor you should stear clear of synthetic right off the bat. Brake it in with regular, drain it, flush it with a quart of syn. and then syn all the way home. Regular oil leaves more residue that will stick and adhear to parts that will help in the brake in.
