ok, so i have a 91' SIR B16A block and a 97' CTR head...

the block as alota miles on it and the head doesn't...but the head needs a lostmotion assimbly, so 2 of the 8 lost motion's "tick"...i was told to use thicker oil w/ cars w/ alota miles...

10W-30 is too thin, and Mobil 1 doesn't make 10W-40...so is 15W-50 ok to use on my set up?

im also useing a OEM honda oil filter.

 

first off, as an experienced lube tech, i would not suggest synthetic oil on an engine with a lot of miles, therefore if conventional 10W40 works then go for that.

 

what do u consider "alot"...im talking about 125K...

..why wouldnt u suggest SNYT oil for high mile engin's?

 

i need answers ASAP! im changeing my pil WRITE NOW!


ima on hold to see if the oil im usein is legit.

 

asappp?

 

basically...is it ok to put 15W-50 in a b16?

what would happen if i use it?...

i thik my block has arround 200K miles or more its a 91 SIR block and the doode @ autozone said it would be better fo tthe high miles...

 

well...
