I thought the only types were oat and non pay based :-/

Also the car had a service at Honda (where the previous owner worked) the week I broughtbit but a seeping rocker (back right corner) has caused a little loss. I want to top it up until the next service at Tgm when it gets paint and frsu etc so can I use and 5/40 oil ?

Hi message when I asked about the oil was as below

5/30 or 5/40 in a k20 but pretty confident mine was serviced with 5/40. The master tech said that any decent brand is fine but Castro would be his first choice. How is the car getting on, your have to get some nice photos over when the weather improves

Am I safe to top up with some 5/40 for now (brand mixing an issue)?

Thanks

Carl

You can mix it fine, I put 5W40 Motul Sport in mine but only had a 5W50 top up bottle, since bought another 5L of 5W40 to top up from.
