As usual, majority don't read the given manual. They would rather trust the mechanics that didn't read the manual too.
All based on some one say so. One can't go wrong by following the recommended engine oil as in the manual. My Odyssey RB1 - use 10W-30 since day one (bought new in 2005). Clocked nearly 180,000km. Oil change every 10,000km as recommended. Still silky smooth as day one. |

QUOTE(kelvin_87 @ Mar 13 2019, 01:52 AM) mine clocking 130,000KM, have being using different grade and brand of engine oils and still maintain great engine performance with good fuel efficient (16km/l). Exactly. Some engine can take different viscosity. 10W-30 till 50. No harm. as long as we change the engine oil on time, and use genuine EO, that shouldn't be much issues.   Manufacturer knows best. |

QUOTE(cheddar @ Mar 12 2019, 12:28 PM) used 40 better because our climate is hotter Go and read engine lubrication 101 first. Why in Saudi, there's still 10W-30. W - winter, 30 - thin oil.  They should use xx-60 then because their average temp always above 40C  |
