Do you use 5w-20 or 5w-30 ? there are lots of concern that since 5w-20 is thin oil, it might make engine last shorter. Do you agree ?

 

Use 5w30. i think 5w20 is for colder temps. I use 0w40 mobil 1 on my gti and had both 5w30 in my civic si and sentra se-l

 

10w30.

 

whats your setup?

bingo.
for 5th and 6th gen cars, 5w30 for all weather, 10w30 for warmer climates (always above 20 degrees F).

 

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> I used 10-40 Honda Oil. I just recently went to a Honda Oe Parts dealer and they had an oil chart for every Engine sold by Honda and they recommened 5w30 for B's . </FONT>

 

Yes, 5w30's should be used in your B-series engine, thats what I use in mine

 

5w30 on my D16Y8 VTEC

 

I'm new to HT but I'm almost positive there are dozens of threads covering the "What motor oil do you use/is best/prefer?" topic. Anyways I use 5w30 on my stock d16z6 motor year around.

 

I use 5w 30 in my k20 ek civic ...just takes a while to warm up...but its good

 

Mobil 1 5w30 all year round in my Y8 because I live in Canada, and it's so cold up here that we have to live in igloos.

 

I use 10-40, but it looks like everyone uses 5w-30 so I will be using that from now on
