Hello
I am worried my local garage has put the wrong engine oil into my Honda Accord.
My car: a Honda Accord 2.2 i DTEC EX Tourer 5dr (08 - 09) - Diesel 2199cc
My local Honda dealer just say put "5W-30 Fully Synthetic" in. They wanted to charge £185 for an oil change (including filter). They normally use the brand Shell Helix apparently.
My local garage put the following oil in:
"Triple QX SynPlus 5W-30 - Fully synthetic for *** Vehicles"
It also meets the requirements of "ACEA C3-12", "API SN", plus "Porsche C30" ... "MB-Approval 229.1"
Honda's instruction manual says that they recommend "ACEA A3/B3" or "ACEA A4/B5". It also says:
> On European models without service reminder systems ACEA A1/B1, ACEA A3/B3 or
> ACEA A5/B5 could also be used
...i.e. Nowhere do they mention "ACEA C3-12"
==> Should I be worried?
My local garage charged just £85.50 including filter, which compared to the Honda dealer is suspiciously cheap, no?
