currently im using total EO 5w-40 fully , i must say total is very good

Hi all,

This is not a question about engine oil per se, but related to it. My Honda service center recommends to use engine oil flushing (by Liqui Moly) every 10K KM.

I just read the FAQ in the North American Honda webpage, which strongly recommends against the use of engine oil flushing products, and it may void the engine warranty.

Honda Malaysia page is silent about this though... So what do you guys think? Should I? Or shouldn't I? Thanks!

I think people are unnecessarily paranoid about engine oil and I was too before. At the end of the day, I believe if you use the correct viscosity and the correct grade and stick to manufacturer's OCI, nothing catastrophic will happen. I have a diesel engine with 350K on the odometer and a friend have 500K and we both been using Mineral Oil from Day 1. And engines still don't consume oil so far.

does engine oil expire in an engine that doesn't run much?

for example today i service my car. After 6 months, the car only traveled 2000 km. Should it be changed or can it be used until 10k km?

Need no worry about the engine oil sell by tesco. I 've been using it for 6 years now in my Myvi. All brand i use as long as promotion price. Shell, Mobil 1, Gastrol. All fully synthetic. Look at the valve assy after i remove it to replace valve cover seal. Mileage now 107000km, brought new in 2008. 1st 2 years service at Perodua. After tat all DIY oil change

hello guys. just checking if you guys know where in PJ area I can get genuine Honda engine oil? i'm looking to purchase the hybrid oil, green colour bottle, SN0W-20.

any familar spare parts shop you guys go?

alright, thanks mate, let me check. you still driving the same city?

1 million can meh? mine also, only hitting 100k after 6 years nia. you?

i see okay, great. i always use the hybrid oil, SN0W-20, not bad, but they say a bit too thin, is that so?

Hey there, was just wondering if Honda service centres do not sell engine oils for walk-in customers?

Stick to Honda 0W30 genuine motor oil especially for spirited driving conditions. Anytime better than Amsoil.

I've used Amsoil once and never used since then. Overrated motor oil.

Anyone tried using honda engine oil sourced from outside?There are few sellers in mudah selling semi for around rm70 and full syn rm130..was just wondering are there any fake honda engine oil?

Change EO last weekend for my City TMO to Aisin 5W30 SN/GF5 Fully Synthetic that claims to have PAO/Ester blend, RM145 for 4L pack before GST. The normal FS without PAO/Ester is RM125 for 4L pack before GST.

So far done about 200km. As compared to the previous Honda SN 10W30 mineral, it's slightly smoother/quieter, but nothing mind blowing or out of this world. Then again, just normal city driving. Pricing wise seems quite ok, as they seem to be quite aggressive to penetrate Malaysia market. They also have an 0W20 normal FS (non PAO/Ester) that goes for RM115 a 4L pack without GST.

From what I practice, its okay to push till that. But also consider your idling times. If you're caught in traffic most of the time, maybe changing at 9,000km is better.

I use Honda Genuine SN 0W-20 and 0W-30 also. Some of those in Honda Insight LYN Group even push up till 11,000km but I think a 10,000km guideline is best.

But as you said, if its already thick and foaming, maybe better to change. Just my 2 cents.

I'd thought from Honda website they have this 0W20.

*Civic Type R and Accord V6 are recommended to use SN 0W-30 engine oil

I think my mileage would be same as you. But I would rather change every 4 months, so one year change 3 times. I think cost wise its bearable. Rather than push it to twice a year. Thats for me

Well, it could be only me. So far I have very good impression with German products, not just engine oil.

5w40 recommended for high performance car, such like honda civic will do?
