Hello all,
I have searched the forum but cannot get a definitive answer on what oil to use – so far I have seen people recommended 0W30 or 5W30 or 5W40 or 10W40.
I even phoned two HONDA Dealers and they told me different weights/ oils!
I have a standard (other than ITG) EP3 with 50K on the clock, I do a lot of cold starts due to my job, I do like to VTEC but I do not hoon around all the time.
Bottom Line: is SHELL HELIX 5W30 safe to put in my car? (It is very good value at the moment £19.43 for 5L)
Thank you (and please do not suggest any more oils or my head will explode)!
