I have a 2000 Integra Type R with 33,500 miles, what kind of motor oil should i use, i heard that synthetic oil is bad for your vtec, thanks!

 

i use Red Line. Its done me good. I just change my itervals from 3000km to 1500km for every oil change.

 

Yep, time to switch to synthetic. I swear by Mobil 1 5w-30 (full synthetic), it's the best oil in the world.

 

but my car has 33,500 miles, shouldnt i use 10w 30?

 

you only need to use 10w30 if the temp where you live drops down alot.. like freezing temp... but seeing that your from CA.. i doubt thats gonna happen

 

so syntheti'cs the best huh??

 

Correct.

 

Mobile 1 5W-30...

 

mobil 1 5-30

 

I used either Mobil 1 or Redline, both work great to me.

 

Mobil Synthetic 5w30!!!!

 

Exact opposite. You can use 10w30 if the temp doesn't get very cold. First number is how the oil acts when cold. Bigger the number, the thicker it is, and thus the slower it moves when cold.

Either 5w30 or 10w30 will be fine. I use 5w30 because thats what the manual says to use.

 

that could quite possibly be the most incorrect information i've ever heard...

I also use Mobil 1 5w-30. I'm gonna try out Amsoil and Royal Purple in the next several months.

Anyone know how Amsoil and RP performs? I know many Amsoil people swear by it. (A lot of sub-12sec S/C-ed Mustang and Camaro guys.)

 

All together now 'Mobil 1'

 

Wahhhh lots of Mobil 1 fans here ...umm personally I am using Lubro Moly 5W40 they're thin enough to protect my engine when I start it up under all weather in Vancouver. Also it's thick enough for most track day events.

I really wanna try out Speed Master though...all my friends in HK said they're great...

 

Can't wait to hit 10k miles for Mobil 1. Only 3k more to go.

 

Has anybody tried Motul engine oil?

 

You have to wait until 10k to use synthetic? Why??

 

right now i have mobil one 5-30 , but i like royal purple better , the only thing is that royal purple seems to disapear....

 

I did the same...I have heard from many it is not good to switch until fully broken in...

 

The key being "fully broken in". I think I got there at my first oil change.
