k 3 quick questions, does any one have any reviews on Mobil synthetic or AMS synthetic oil? i was reading both ams is good for like 25k miles/1yr, and mobil says guarenteed 7500mile protection currently im using castro syn. other question is if i need parts such as a alternater belt when i go to an auto store which year/car has same stuff as a b16? 92 del sol? 92-95 integra gsr? i heard both so just verifying. and last but not least when is the timing belt due for a b16/4cyl car? ive heard 40k,60k, and 90k so which is it?

 

1. Use whatever is cheaper. Oil is oil, really.

2. 99-00 Civic SI

3. around 80k or something. anywhere around there should be fine.

 

1. why are you spending money on synthetic?
2. if you have a b16 buy it for 95 del sol dohc just to be safe.
3. its suppose to be 90000 but youll be safe doing it at 100000. i do it all the time

1. prev owner used synth and i hear mixing the oils can be bad so i just stuck with synth hear its better but who knows i just did as prev owner had it setup :-/
2. k so u say 95 del sol, guy above says 99-00 civ si ahhh help!
3. i figured it would be around 90kish cuz thats what most cars are i think. with exception of some of the newer cars with Link chain timing belts never have to change em

 

1 when you change the oil its empty. so use cheaper oil
2 a b16 is a b16 no matter what year
3

2. so when i go to the auto store i just tell em i have a "b16" and they can look it up? cuz i know some auto places around here are dicks and make sure u give them a year/car make before they do a lookup.. cali ftw.

 

the 95 del sol has to be a del sol VTEC model. Or the 99-00 SI will work too.
