Default quick Mobile-1 Question>>>

hey, just need a quick clarification. There are obviously numerous oils out there to use, but i guess the majority concensus on this board is the brand Mobil-1. I went to walmart and notice even mobile-1 has different types of oil I've decided to go with 5w-30 because this is what honda recommends, but my question is whats the exact name of the mobile-1 oil i should purchase? thanks

If your engine's in good condition it'll be fine. I switched my D16Y8 to Mobil-1 Synthetic (now running Red Line) when it had about 124000 miles on it - no problems at 134000.

Look for the silver bottle with the blue cap.

your car will be fine if you run 0w-30, 5w-30, or 10w-30. it depends on your climate.
