which brands of oil does Honda Tech use in their Vehicles?


*Royal Purple
*Castrol
*Valvoline
*Mobile 1

 

i use the bulk oil at quick lube places...
on my single clam

 

i should have added conventional oil :/

 

usually castrol in the k20

 

I am a fan of castrol 2.....i have a debate with my friend going....he uses Royal Purple in his b18c(gsr)........so thought i would ask honda tech what they thought

 

Whatever dino oil is on sale.

 

My garbage D? Whatevers on sale, the motor I'm building? Fully Synthetic MOBIL (no e) 1 Extended Performance (15,000 mile oil which will be changed every 5,000). And a Mobil 1 oil filter.

 

ived used k&n oil filters....pretty good results...but u gotta change it at 3k on the dot...they have such a fine microfiber that they tend to fill up with stuff quickly

 

i use full synthetic lucas oil in my B16

 

Castrol High Mileage haha..270K+ can`t beat older Honda`s

 

full lucas synthetic?....interesting....castrol is the best lol

 

i used royal purple back in the day but when they jacked up the price i switched to mobile 1

 

would you have kept royal purple if the price was cheaper?

 

Castrol conventional oil and a Wix filter.

fyi, Mobil 1, K&N filters are basically Fram. I've seen cut-outs. don't waste your money. Wix is the way to go. You can even youtube it.

 

Most oil filters look the same inside, it's about the way it's filtered and the material that filters it.

^ not fram

 

i like use eneos oil from japan oil it good

 

I just mean the study of the material and the quality, the way it's treated, etc. used to work at an auto parts shop and a guy with all the cut-outs and info came in.

I'll admit, the K&N are better than most, including Mobil 1. Mobil filters are overrated and they just bank on their oil being top notch.

 

""K&N filters are basically Fram.""
wtf are you saying??? lol thats 100% false.

royal purple sells 100% synthetic filters i still find them the best

me personally i use honda 10w30 oil and filter straight from the dealer running daily on my 314whp ls-vtec all day without any problems just keep up on changes (every 1-2k) and itl run perfect

5 quarts of 10w30 amsoil/filter =70$
5 quarts of 10w30 honda/filter =25$
5 quarts of 10w30 royal/mobil/filter =around 60$
and btw mobil 1 isn't a full-synthetic just search.

 

what do you think of honda genuine filters??

 

i run straight honda 10w30 and honda filter on my 314whp ls-vtec all day boostin hard without a single issue but on a boosted ride like mine after about a 1-2k it needs a change but its only 25$ for 5 quarts and a filter

 

what a waste of money..changing every 1-2k miles.

i use valvoline synpower.

 

i used to change mine every month....i live in the caribbean, and we have lots of hills and we dont usually make 3,000 miles in like a year.....i change it cause i worry what the hills are loading on my engine.......and ive noticed my engine has been very healthy

 

HEADS-UP HEADS-UP HEADS-UP


BTW: I run the following:

M1 5w20 - 04 Honda Pilot w/ 100k miles (will be switching to 0w20 soon)
M1 5w30 High Mileage - 89 CRX Si w/ 218k miles (no leaks)
M1 5w20 - 05 Acura TL 6spd 64k miles (just switched to 0w30 in to see if I loose mpgs)
M1 0w30 - 94 Civic CX w/ 170k miles & 97 JDM ITR motor
