Default Mini me oil weight
Just a thought, I did a D15B7 block- D16Y8 head mini me swap, do I stick with 5w-30 or do I go with something else? Also does the capacity change?

/\ nailed it. oil capacity is for the block, so use the same. 5w30 is standard honda oil for engines of this vintage. warmer climates can use 10w30. did you remember to pull the oil jet from the block?

Yes I did, and I figured it would be the same, just didn't know if the higher compression or some factor unknown to me would require or do better with a different weight. Thanks guys
