Well im doing my oil change tomorrow and thought I would ask some questions. My car is a CX with 208K KM. Oil Changed every 5K KM. What Oil would you guys recommend for my engine? What oil filter would you recommend?

Thanks

 

mobile 1 if ur gonna change it every 5k and then buy a honda oil filter

 

Will honda sell me a Case or two of their Oil Filters? Any idea on the price of them?

 

I got 12 honda filters off ebay for 25 bucks.

 

He doesn't have to use Mobil 1. And notice he said Km, not miles. He's from Canada, eh. Use whatever 5w30 oil you prefer and a Wix filter. If you have Napa stores in Canada, the filters they sell that say Napa are made by Wix.

 

well how many miles are on it but use royal purple and a mobil 1 oil filter

 

i suppose i missed that small detail lol.....well i still always use mobile 1 with a honda oil filter

 

Use oil specifically for high mileage cars and a FRAM filter will work, 5W-30? I use Mobil 1 15W-50 fully synthetic with FRAM filters, hasn't failed me yet. Edit, didn't realize you're in Canada, not sure if the products are different.

280,000 KM = 152,865 MILES ? if im not mistaken?

1KM = .62 Miles i think..

so everyone is using 5w30?

Problem sweety?

 

3.2 - 3.5 QUARTS in a honda...LOL 1 US quart = 0.946 Liters. So 3 - 3.3 liters

 

I'd run NORMAL (read NOT synthetic) 5W30 motor oil and the filer of your choice.

I personally run 5W30 in all of my cars with O.E Honda filters. they are the new type that are smaller and carry part number 15400-PLM-A01.

I only run synth in my R-powered hatchback, and that's only because the previous owner already did.

IMO synth is a waste of money. As long as you change your oil every 3,000 miles or so you should not need any "miracle" oils of any kind.

Also, great thread of tests of flow through different brands of filters:

BTW:

Is this a 92-95 CX?

If so it takes 3.5 U.S quarts.

 

Yes 94CX. So 3.5 Quarts it is. Thanks guys. Heh i will do a nice DIY for this tonight with pics. I am going to call honda now and see if they will sell me a case of filters.

 

Ok.. Called Honda

$7.67 Each CDN for the Oil Filters (15400-PLM-A01)

Case is 30. So I think I will pick up 10 or so tonight.

 

use honda filters

 

oil filter should ALWAYS be Honda filter... air and fuel are not that important but oil is VERY important...

Use Honda filters and you will thank us...

5w30 or 10w40 Mobil1 or Shell will do the great job...

Amount is aprox. 3.5 liters incl. filter...

 

I've heard of people "flushing" there blocks. Does this help and where can i have it done?

I use mobile drive clean 5w-30 and hamp oil filter....or honda

 

i always get a new drain plug and crush washer from honda also. and make sure the o ring on the oil filter comes off with it, and does not stick to the block.

http://www.c-speedracing.com has a howto for an oil change.

 

id run a dino 10w-30 b/c they are more shear stable than a 5w-30 dino. if doesnt take that much shear before a regular 5w-30 becomes a 20wt.

 

Use some QuakerState action from CT with their filter, works fine for me. Or, if you want to change to synthetic prehaps, just get Formula1 with their filter. Works just fine for me and I do about the same distance per change with 289K on my 92.
