recommended oil weight for sohc zc turbo civic
Bonjour! I'm currently running 10w40 in my car but i'm wondering if 10w30 would make any difference. Im in SC so the temperature never really gets that cold if that matters. Also, it has about 200,000 miles on the motor. The car is a 91 civic hatch with a zc swap. Help?
why is 10w40 so damn hard to find?

Oil pressure and bearing clearances dictate oil viscocity use. My car with loose clearances gets proper oil pressure with 5w-30
10w-40 isnt hard to find, and 5w-40 is exactly the same as 10w-40 except during cold start (at operating temp they are the same)
Whats your oil pressure currently like?
