Re: what motor oil do you use? (4g_civic_si)

I'm using Castrol GTX 10W-30 conventional oil for now while I'm breaking in my rebuilt B18C. I'll be switching over to Mobil 1 synthetic after logging the appropriate number of miles.

Re: (gezer)

I use Castrol Syntec 10W30 and before that I used Penzoil 5W30 which is what it came with from the factory. As the motor gained mileage I switched to the 10W30 because it's thicker and better for higher mileage engines. I switched at around 50,000 miles.

ps...there is a ton of info on this site on different oils if you do a search...not bitchen just sayin in case you don't get what you wanted from this thread.
