i just bought a JDM H22 from Noyan USA and they told me that it has around 40k on it and i was just wondering what oil should i start out on. Mobile 1 Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend or what?

 

full synthetic 5w-30

Why 5w-30 not 10w-30 ?

 

unless the temperature is gonna get real cold where you live in the next 3,000 miles, you don't need 10w-30. look in your manual.

 

Wouldnt milage and engine wear be a factor also ? (I know he said his only has 40k but I just want to clear this up)

 

Use 5w30 Synthetic....Once the engine gets over 75000 miles on it, then you might want to consider a different type of oil. You might also want to use the RED SEARCH button at the top right....It tends to make things a lot easier!

You have the facts backwards

5W-xx is winter
10W-xx is summer

 

have got to agree

 

I use 10w30 in cold weather 5w30 in hot weather.... synthetic or regualr thats up to you and your wallet.

 

Honda says all H22 oil gally's need 5w-30.

All I can say is... WOW... you guys should really do some research. Although whether you use 5W30 or 10W30, won't make much of a noticeable difference... especially in warm places like FL. If you're going to go through the hassle of using different grades based on temperatures... you might as well use the RIGHT ONE.

Again:
5W30 = winter
10W30 = summer

Why does this matter? The First number is an indicator of how easily the oil will crank at cold temperature. So, the lower the number, the lower your temperature can go, and the engine will still move.

Side effects, oils are modified using chemicals, if you use a winter oil in the summer, you won't notice a difference, however, there's a slightly higher chance of sheering.
