Well my car smokes real bad, when it warms up and start moving it around, the previous owner told me it burns oild like hell,and I should check it every week, so what kinda oil should I put in my car guys?

btw its a 90 civic hb dx, stock motor.

 

Try some Quaker State Higher Mileage.

 

20w50 works best for me, that high milage stuff is a scam... been through it all, spending $6 for stop oil burning stuff, trying new oil filters, trying different weights/brands of oils... seems like the 20w50 burned the slowest, but still smoked very badly

just get the cheapest oil you can get, the heaviest weight, and buy a lot of it... do a swap ASAP

honestly, listen to that piece of info, instead of masking the problem, you should be addressing it... you can go through alot of money buying oil every week or fix the problem that's making the oil burn (or swap )

 

I say do a swap. You could buy mine

 

i would work on saving for a swap...you could do something cheap to hold you over if you dnt have much money....but that problem seems like it can be costly

 

nothin' like some good old 20w50 and some motor honey....that should stop the smokin'...... Really, If you are at that point it's time for a new engine!

i aggree with this guy^^ 100%. my brothers old car burned oil, so he tried all those additives and **** but NONE of it worked, so he just bought cases of the cheap oil and did that for a few months until he could save enough $$ for his swap.

 

what type of swap should I do, cheapest.... I dont want a zc

 

z6, it's newer, VTEC, has a good amount of power, pretty cheap ~$1400 to do it right

or you could always just get an si motor from http://www.nippon-motors.com ~$800 to do it right
