Hi Guys
I know there has been a lot of threads on this subject but out of interest:
I have always used Castrol Edge 0W-30 oil and changed every 6k
I have just been on to Opie Oils site and keyed in my reg and it came up with a whole range of 5w-30 oils but no 0w-30 oils, Some synthetic some fully synthetic.
Since the general consensus seems to be always use 0w-30 and indeed Honda's manual specifically states 0w-30, I telephoned them and was told that in this country we do not get cold enough to warrant 0w-30 oil and that 5w-30 oil will give slightly better protection. He seemed to think that synthetic was as good as the fully synthetic as well.
I wonder why Honda suggest 0w-30 in that case!!
The car has done 187k and still does not burn oil between changes. Would it benefit from changing to 5W-30 or should I stick with 0w-30
