car details: EG hatch , manual , 499,000KMS (kilometeres)

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

 

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

well just started her.. seems to be ok

 

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.

haha

 

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.

I even traded it in for $3K Had to fill 'er up on the side of the road before getting to the dealership for the inspection.

 

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

 

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.

 

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"
