then after that 2 week i change the oil again by myself. i'm using the mobile one..... really smooth really come quick...! :mardi:

There is no "best" IMO and no one can use such a label. It comes down to operating temperature, viscousity and application to determine what is suitable. For Australian conditions and general road use, I'd suggest either using the factory Honda Type R engine out 10W-30 or Mobil 1 Gold 10W-30. One is a semi-synthetic while the second one is a full synthetic.

Agree with Noel.

Location is an all important factor IMO as you'd have very different requirements if you lived in Alaska or Australia.

I'm no expert but I'd be inclined say that you would not need fully synthetic in Australia (esp not 5-40) due to the hot weather and the nature of sythetics being a bit on the thin side.

I'd personally go for a semi (like Magnatec or Shell Helix) with a low viscosity as the weather will thin things out nicely.

Just my tupence

Motul is a great oil beter than alot i've tried, BUT!! it's mainly good for race, it dosen't last long, it gose bad so fast even the street spec oil versions turn thick and black, and engine not as smooth, short term use, like on track days stick with motul.

IMO i recomend elf or Agip, they last way longer and maintain its performance over long term...

unfortunatley I can't give you an opinion on Mobile1 becasue here in northamerica, the make-up on the oil is different from the euorpean mobile1, alot of people here call it the fake mobile1 cuz it sucks :jester:

I use the 300V Motul series competition engine oils in our race cars and that is changed out every track session, less than 500 KMs on average per session. I wouldn't recommend this to be used as a daily driven oil. Not only as mentioned above, it only lasts for a short time. (Maximum optimal mileage - 2500 ~ 3000 KMs).

Anymore distance and the oil temperature will rise and not reduce. Oil quality will also deteroriate at a very extreme rate. Highly not recommended for road use unless you're willing to change at the end of the opimal mileage rate. Not to mention, it isn't cheap.

motul 8100 ... ~
but it will last for abt 6k km max

Honda Australia has 2 recommended or acceptable specification engine oils for the Accord Euro. One is the standard Honda FEO for all generic models and the other is the Honda Type R grade used by Civic VTi-Rs, Prelude VTi-R, Integra Type R & S, S2000 and NSX. Both are semi-synthetic, no factory engine oil in Australia by Honda factory is full synthetic.

thx a lot Noel....
how about the code for the oil is that still the same??? (10w-30)

 

[Cyde]

i'm using elf Excellium LDX 5W40 Synthetic

any comments on it??

 

[Noel]

Honda FEO is 5W-40 if I remember correctly but don't quote me on it. The label clearly shows the big FEO letters on the packaging.

While the Type R is 10W-30, that I'm sure and has the distinctive red R symbol on the packaging.
