Ok, i have a question, my motor burns oil at high rpm's

the guy before me used mobil1 5w-30 full synth

i was wondering, is there really a difference with the 10w and 5w?

what do u guys use? i was thinking maybe mobil 1 synthetic blend 10w30 or maybe ams oil 10w30, or i will continue to use 5w30..

just wanted to see what you guys or girls ran out there..


oh! and i heard that the motor wont rev as fast, run as good with 10w30 compared to 5w30

 

what engine are you talking about?

 

I always ran 10w30 (mobil 1) in both my civics w/o any problems.

My friend runs 15w50 in his and he hasn't had any problems...and he's had his at least a year now and beats the **** out of it daily (GSR 6th gen hatch).

It's a matter of letting it warm up longer b4 you "rip madd VTAK."

How high RPM are we talking about - what motor?

 

jdm b16, with mild headwork

anyone?

 

I use Castrol GTX 10w30 on my d16z6 and have no problems.

I'm thinking of switching to that. I just bought a good 3 oil-changes worth today (to do the one "change flush", then replace).

Sorry to get off topic.

 

someone correct me if im wrong but dont 10w30 and 5 w30 have the same viscosity till about 30ºf, and at operating temp they dont have any difference in viscosity

 

i thought i heard the same, but then why wouldnt people just get 5w30 to begin with?

 

I run 10w30 in the summer, 5w30 in the winter.

 

feel any difference?

what motor?

 

jdm b16...anyways I don't notice a difference no, but I just do it because it gets pretty cold here in the winter. I don't know if it really matters but it's just what I do.

Ha, yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right.

Thin oil for cold start, thick for running - at standard operating temp they act teh same in terms of viscosity/lubrication.

Everybody in my area runs 15w50 or 10w40..but there's very few 4 bangers and even less Hondas.

In any event, 10w30/5w30 should act the same once the car is warmed up.

 

alright, thanks,

anyone else?

any suggestions with the fully synthetic or synthetic blend? non synthtic?

 

i have strait 30 weight. because my baby keeps leeking everywhere until i change the rear main seal, but i cant because i would want to to do a clutch and bearing job too. my dad does it all. so he want to do it all at once. and im BROKE! i did do a mobil 1 syn blend 3 months ago.
