Oil Question
Hi,
I have a question about what kind of oil to use. I have a 93 civic with 65,000 miles and the recommended oil is 5W-30, but that was burning to fast so I used 10W-30 and it seems alright now. But I am not sure if that kind of oil would be alright to use in my car. What would you recommend?

wow, only 65,000 and it's burning oil that bad?
anyhow 10w30 should be fine, i wouldn't go any heavier than that or the oil pump will have a hard time picking it up and the temp gauge will rise.
it happened to me once already, being stupid i bought some of that new Quaker State synthetic(it was the High RPM i think), but it was 20W50 and wow did my temperature gauge skyrocket
