Ive just hear that you should use regular oil instead of synthetic. The synthetic oil is supposed to be too slippery and will not let moving parts settle in properly. As to what weight to use I am not sure.

G U E C O

what brand should i get? how much weight

G U E C O

i did search and all they said was to get non synthetic. what brand makes non detergent oils?

I've always used Castrol SAE 30 for break-in period, 1,000 miles or so. Change it the 1st 500 miles.

Then after that, I just used the stuff that comes out of the bulk,

what do u mean assembly lube? i just used regular chevron oil. o BTW i bought the regular chevron 5w-30 for break it in.

Combustion Contraption

assembly lube = a lube added during assembly. it has been my experience in life that when you are confused with what something is, say it backwards. ie. a plasma tv? a TV that displays the picture using plasma technology. anyway....


people use assembly lube on the main bearings, rod bearings, crank journals etc. etc. when building the motor. i dont think motor oil by itself is too bad to use, but i know assembly lube is better.

got it, i only used motor oil

correct me if im wrong, but arent you suppose to use 5w-30 for break in?

cxSHOE

5w30
for 500 miles,
oil change
use 5w30 again
oil change at 1,000miles
then use synthetic oil

while breakin vary speeds on highyway from 50-75mph for the 1,000miles... you should be fine... then comes the routine maintenance .. which is key to keep the engine alive...

98 civic 165,000 miles strong as when new, nothing has been replaced yet.. even all my lights still work...knock on wood

10w30 castrol GTX for me.

First 500 miles you should use non-detergent 30w oil. You can get it at NAPA. Then use a non-synthetic oil for the remainder of the break-in. Make sure you change the oil after the first 20 miles on initial startup.
