Default What type of oil should I be running?

http://www.hondamarketplace.com/show...integra+benson

This is the car I just recently purchased and I am getting ready to change the oil in it. Just turned 10,000 miles on the build and I am clueless as to what i should be running. Car at most is ran 500 miles a month.

Ask the engine builder for the oil clearances and then decide.

a good 10w40 or 5w40 synthetic oil will be perfect for most if not all turbo honda street setups.

Not sure who actually did the building. I know its a Benson's block by the stamp on it and the guy said portflow did the head. WHo actually put it all together? Not a clue. I dont drive it to hard or anything.
I just dont want to run too heavy and not get proper lubrication or go to thing and screw stuff up that way.
