QUOTE(matrix88 @ Mar 4 2018, 08:36 PM) changing engine oil will not help much. if you want use semi synthetic or fully synthetic engine oil with 10/40 rating. i am currently using mineral oil 15w40 now . changing to semi synthetic would help to restore the power loss ?   |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Mar 4 2018, 08:39 PM) You can try to go for 5W30 oil. This is lighter oil which is also suitable for your Honda. will it be too thin ? since the car is quite old , it's 2004 car . But , I think it's in good condition , no oil leak and oil loss |

QUOTE(SleeplessEyes @ Mar 4 2018, 09:33 PM) Why did u use 15w40? If u follow the honda manual it states at least a minimum 5w30. ok , thanks for the info Therefore changing to 10w30 will restore the engine performance. It will improve the FC alot also. idsi engine dont need such heavy oil even at such mileage. The engine operating temperature isnt that hot either. Fyi my family owns the IDSI since new and still send back to Honda SC for service. They also use Honda 10w30.  |

QUOTE(zeng @ Mar 5 2018, 12:30 AM) This Shell Helix HX5 15W40 is one of the best and powerful mineral oils around with SN and ACEA A3B3, and I consider it as suitable for your Honda. why dont you suggest semi-synthetic oil ?Unfortunately you find it a bit sluggish. If you must move to a xW30 to improve engine 'sluggishness', then I recommend you another powerful mineral oil from Shell Helix HX5 10W30 SN ACEA A3B3 |

QUOTE(zeng @ Mar 5 2018, 08:18 AM) Well ..... because of specifications ACEA A3B3, and to a certain extent oil change intervals,price and availability etc. 5k kmI'd used mineral HDEO dual rated with A3B4 in carburretter Wira for 8000-10000 km oil change. I too had semisyn A3B4 in Avanza for 15000-16000 km oil change. The fullsyn in Avanza today would be for a minimum of 16000 km, likely 18000-20000 for a start, IDK. You may consider a semisyn A3B3/B4 if OCI exceeds say, 10,000 km. What's your intended oil change interval , btw? |
