I'm currently using Mobil One SuperSyn 5w-30 for my 95 civic ex coupe without problems (oil comsumption is ok, may need to top off once between each 3k miles oil changes, no appearance leak).
The question I got is on the bottle of the oil, it said "Newer vehicle formular". Does that means it is not suitable for a yr 95 car? Should I change it to 10w-30? If not, what should I use?
Thanks!

 

Since you already changed to it, don't change back. I mean it wouldn't be a problem really if you wanted to, but whatever. With synthetic oil, you ARE using the synthetic filter , right? and if so...why do you change ever 3K miles instead of every 7K miles? its SYTHETIC...made to last a bit longer and better on wear and tear. the formula is ment for newer vehicles, but it should be fine for your honda, i donno where you live....but if its somewhere thats cold...get a bit less vascosity when getting a oil. if its down south and always warm that dont worry about it.

 

I live in San Diego, so viscosity isn't a problem for me. For the oil filter, I'm using purlator or pureone. Are they synthetic filter? I hv never heard about synthetic filter before. I saw something like Mobil One filters cost $11 bucks in Pepboy tho. Are those synthetic filter?
Thanks in advance!

Synthetic filter.....please elaborate, never heard of it. And when I was'nt burning oil I still changed my oil every 2500 miles. Even when using synthetic.

 

Use OEM Honda filters or I use the Mobil1 filters. Don' think there is such a thing as a synthetic filter.

 

Every 7k?? your a jack ***

You can take it to 7k if you change the filter at 3500 and top off the level again.

 

I had a 92-95 civic hatch and i used 10w 30. Do you have a stock motor? oO yea instead of changin your oil every 7k just try 9k

Just want to ask if the oil spill out when u unmount the filter without draining the oil?
U guys hv a good place for cheap quality filters? Just got a good deal for mobil1 oil, wanna get a good deal for filter too.
Would u guys mind sharing here?

 

You're worrying too much about petty ****. Focus on something else.

The oil that is in the filter will spill out but not much more than that.
