im swaping my engine very soon to a b16a, i just need this one running for another 3 weeks.

its a d series engine the 1.3Litre "breeze" engine its carburated.

im in australia, im sure u guys dont have those there in america.

anyways my car is runing very sluggish all of a sudden and the oil light kept turning on . On idle its like its about to die.. well it has done nearly half a million KMs..'

decided to check the oil level this morning and to my surprise.. theres no oil in there at all.. yeh amazing how long these engines last..

anyways i checked around my garage for spare oil..

i came across these two




this one has only a bit left


and the other one is for a four stroke motorcycle which has about 2.5Litres left..




my question: can i put this oil in my D series engine and will it last me 3weeks?

or should i just leave it running as it is with harldy no oil at all..

ANY oil is better then NO oil. Use the motorcycle oil.

roger that

::MYCORD::

Is it hard to buy oil over there? I wouldn't start the car again until you put some correct oil in there.

too late ive already put in the motorcycle oil

It'll be the longest 3 weeks of your life.

says additives, so maybe its like to thicken the oil, like high mileage oil. either way, it should make it 3 weeks. it may not run the best, but itll run. check it very often. any petroleum lubricant is better than no lubricant.

just put the motorcycle oil in there. I doubt your going to be using the "breeze" anymore.

For extra kick, put some in your spark plug holes and have a smoke show too

That is D abuse . I'm calling the DHM (Department of Honda Motors) to report.

I ran my 87 Jetta on water for a few weeks.

It had a blown HG, and I kept having to drain the oil since the crankcase kept overfilling with antifreeze. I stopped using oil, since it was getting expensive. Then stopped using the Prestone, since that was getting a bit expensive too. A little water in the crankcase and radiator, and it was good to go until it burned away.

Dude, ghetto. Ghetto.
Let us know how the swap goes.

TorganFM.

Really though a Honda engine in good condition will run for many miles on any sort of oil, and even no oil at all. Just use whatever you have until you find a better option.

cinq

are you really that cheap to go out and buy 4 qts of oil? That engine took you so far..and that's how you are treating it?

Put some kangaroo's oil in it instead.

I love the mentality of some people.

Just use water man "I saw this vid one time"
