bro, engine oils cant synchronize yeah smile.gif

and yes, SR-1 is fully synthetic, and API SN certified smile.gif
0w20 is GF-5 and resource conserving certified as well (aka damn light rev happy responsive engine even AFTER 10k km without changing engine oil hehe)

typo there... im used to type sync straight away tongue.gif


because i plan to change my oil to SR-1 10W/30 or 5W/40 in the next service. previous service @ 83k i went to honda sc and they used a 0w-20 oil which is very thin. the next service is due 88k, but i guess i will go for it once i reach 87k

if your car still under warranty and goto honda sc, probably stick to it unless they CONFIRM with you that using your own EO won't void warranty.

also, if they using xw20 already, i highly recommend xw20 torco SR-1 as that is certified for resource conserving while the other viscosities are not.

no problem on oil drying out/flashing as after 8k km or so and replacing oil filter, there is ZERO reduction in EO levels smile.gif

feel free to look up my posts within this thread on SR-1 reviews

my car ended warranty already. but my parents tend to bring it to honda sc for service even after warranty ended. last i check the bill it's damm expensive for a major service. so for the upcoming service i want to bring it to outside workshop, and i found 1 which uses torco engine oil

then give it a go lo, remember to get SR-1 0w20, and not SR-1 R yeah, which is more towards performance and won't have the longevity (additives/detergents) for longer OCI which is what makes it so attractive/worthy

if i flush out the 0w20 oil which is in my engine currently and chg to SR-1 R is it ok ?

because i was told to not rev too high if im using the 0w-20 oil, so far i just rev below 3k rpm only

the 0w-20 oil is this btw
