TGM slapped in Castrol Edge 10w60 in the last oil change and not looked back. :lol:

:shock: :shock: Why are you using this stuff? It is way way out of grade for these cars, high revving V-techs do not like thick oils, its just going to lead to premature wear, lower power and higher fuel costs.

No need to go any thicker than a good SAE40.

Hmm why do TGM use it then :| :|

Since putting in 10w-60, the dc5 has not used any oil 8)

Where is with the 10w-40 it seems to burn it off like water.

Surely this is not as good as it sounds considering Vtec uses oil as part of the process :?

Car still feels the same and the MPG is more less the same.

Yea but

0-40 the car burn it off like petrol :lol:

5- 40 little better but it still used silly amounts

10 - 40 It still uses more less the same as 5w - 40 may a little less...

10 - 60 its not used a drop 8) well may be a little 8)

I know Honda engines use oil for the VTEC to work, but using 1lt of oil a week was getting silly!

Funnily enough,my son works @ a Vauxie garage and he got me the same deal..its fully synth 5w40..I`ve used it since I got the car a year ago and in between oil changes(every 5k) the engine has hardly used any oil at all,maybe a 1/2 litre every 3 1/2 k miles..more than happy with it :wink:
