I've just got my pistons done on my D16A6 and just finished my 500 miles, which
means that i have to change my Oil and Filter. What kind should i use, someone told me not to use Synthetic Oil. Please let me know guys because tomorrow am doing it myself. Thanks

 

I have heard that synthetic does not condition the seals properly, like a petro based oil, don't know if this is true.

 

So that means i should use petro?

 

I am not too sure, I use Mobil 1 synthetic in my b16a. havent had any problems yet. You might want to ask someone that rebuilds engines. I can give you my opinion but dont know if it is right.

 

Thanks for the Info.

 

just stick to a known good brand of oil and stick with it.. change it regularly....
like me.... i rebuilded mines... and i put Valvoline 10w-30...... in the 11k miles it has i have changed the oil 6 times.....

 

I use Mobil 1 SuperSyn 10W-30 when I reached 100 miles on my motor. Have no problems at all.

 

Synthetic oils in older engines CAN cause problems. There is a possibility that since syn oil is so thin, it will find the slightest imperfection in the seals and exploit it leading to burnt seals. It is a possibility but not a definite. Some use syn oil with no problems, but it is better for newer engines and not so much for older ones. Valvoline Max-Life is what I use on my Civic with 114,000 miles and it is great.
