hi! can you guys tell me what oil to use for my h22a1, it has 160000 miles on it. thanks for your time.

 

OWNERS MANUAL

 

I use valvoline 5w30; however, I just found out Napa brand oil is the same exact thing as valvoline, so i guess i use Napa 5w30 now.

just changed oil yesterday.

 

Chevron Supreme. Also check out http://www.bobistheoilguy.com for all you ever wanted to know about oil.

 

Castrol High mileage use 10w-30 or valvoline Maxlife...ur motor has alot of miles. By using high mileage oil....it will condition all your seals

 

I just swapped to Penzoil Synthetic which reminds me, I need an oil change

 

castrol 10w-30

 

I work at Valvoline and recommend Valvoline Maxlife 10w30 Synthetic. I has additives in it to help reseal. IMO it is def worth it!

 

thanks for the reply's. i thought we cant use synthetic oil on high mileage engines? which one do guys recomend, the castrol high milleage or the valvoline maxlife? im using castrol high mileage 10w 40 will that hurt my engine? my dad told me to use 10w40 because my engine has 160,000. thanks again.

Yea its not that you CANT use synthetic, but if the car hasent been ran with it then there could cause some seals to leak. Synthetic has cleaning agents in it that break grime on the seals of your motor. Sometimes thats all thats whats stopping them from leaking.

 

I run either Agip, Shell Advance, or AMSOIL....

 

whats the difference between 5w30 and 10w40? isnt 5w30 to thin for a high milleage engine

Some people think so. But who said we have high milleage engines?

 

oh! so what would you guys recomend for my engine with high millage?

 

the cold weights (the first number) has more to do with climate than anything else. Synthetic vs. non-synthetic can be debated until the second coming. I run synthetic because it gives me peace of mind...

 

i use gtx 20w50 - still burns like a bitch

 

My 5th gen. had some major oil burning issues when I first bought it with 70k miles,The previous owner used synthetic 5w-30. it now has 115k and I use castrol 20w-50 and it doesnt burn any oil between oil changes(every 3,000 miles).

 

If you have a stock h22a1. And 160K+
Go to honda and get some OEM oil.
Best for the car at this point I would say.
