2000 civic DX coupe, with almost 110,000 miles. Just recently bought, time for an oil change, tune up, etc. any suggestions. Its my DD, and I drive about 30-40 miles daily.

 

get 5w30 mobil 1

 

I use dino-oil Mobil 1 in my DD. 171k miles. No complaints here.

 

Get whatever is on sale at the auto parts store. 5w30 10w40 10w30. It isnt gonna make a lick of difference. Its a D16y7 not a Ferrari. I would try a heavier weight if its burning a little oil. If not, 10w30 will be good. Change it every 5k. Idk why people recommend Mobil 1 or any synthetic oils in stock Single cam motors. Thats crazy.

Bradpenn oil and no other.
the oil is green and is natural and even ferraris use it.

But you can also get whatever is on sale like stated above.

Luckily mobil 1 was on sale last time i needed an oil change.

 

I'll see whats on sale at the store today. Any Castrol fans here. Their commercials are pretty dope with the horses and all!!!!!

 

I have always been a guy to NOT change oils after I have already used one. The motor will get "used to the oil" is how i would put it and changing an oil down the road isnt the greatest idea. I know many guys will disagree and say "oils oil", but its really not.
Just my opinion, got it from my dad whose been building small blocks forever and also from many other racers at the track who reccomend the same thing.

 

to each their own, i guess

 

castrol gtx high mileage.........that and a fram filter is all my 93 Si has seen since brand new and has had ZERO engine problems at all. runs better than new.

checked valve lash at 100k when i did the timing belt, and again at 150k when i put a new VC gasket on and it didnt need any adjustment either time.

 

Advanced auto always has that and pennzoil on sale with purolator filter combo.
I run both of those oils in my B18c5. 10w30. No issues. The premium gas is what kills me.

 

OEM or Amsoil

 

Any 5w30 fully synthetic oil will do fine along with K&N oil filter. =D Don't go any high weight or you'll start losing gas mileage. Currently have 210k on the y8.

 

Whatever is on sale. It's just a pos single cam.

 

Don't buy no name ****, thats all I will say.

 

I've run everything from Mobil 1 to Super Tech in my car. Engine has 217k miles on it, still gets 40mpg, and doesn't smoke. Just sayin'.

dont use a fram. get a puralator. and just pick a oil and stick with it.

 

definitely go with something made for high mileage engines. also, if regular motor oil is in there now, you can either keep using regular or go synthetic, but if you go synthetic, stick with it for the life of the car. and if it has synthetic in there now, definitely keep putting synthetic in as switching between the two, especially backwards from synthetic to regular motor oil, is never a good idea.

 

Royal Purple 5W-30
thats what i put in my Y7

 

110k is LOW!!! And at 30-40 miles/day looks like you won't be racking the mile up too fast either.

I'd get Mobil1 0W-30, not because it's Mobil1 but because the thinner oil at low temps might help.

 

thats old school mentality. when the first model t's came out and what not is when oil made a difference. nowadays because of SAE all oils perform up to the same standard except for synthtics which are proven to be better. it's just how oils are advertised and some oils have a little bit better additive packages.

 

basically if the oil says SAE SM on the bottle it's good.

 

only oil i use.
synthetic blend 5-30 205k miles.
