Unsure on oil to use in my ek9

[scott]

x2 10w 40 is the recommened oil from honda and does the trick!
best to go for a decent brand; Motul, Castrol, Mobil or Silkolene to be a few

Check out this thread:

As other users told you, 10w 40 is the recommended oil.

Good luck!

Would that be the same for a B18C yeah?

thanks guys

10w-40 semi synthetic with regular changes is fine, if you want better then a good 5w-40 synthetic.

Just look up your model here Opie Oils - car oil and motorbike oil sales and recommendations

Guy - is it ok to go to s funny synth when you havent been using one? I presume thats what you mean 5w40 synth oil. You always hear its not good to go from a semi to a fully, but you know what the internet/forums are like with rumours etc.

Just want to get a decent answer. I use a 10W40 semi synth, but did notice a previous post by yourself recommending a 5w40, but didnt notice that you had specified a fully synth mix.

Hi

You're absolutely fine going from semi to full synthetic.

I use Royal Purple fully synthetic 20w-50. works great. noticed that the hear ran smoother than a similar grade Motul.

 

[oilman]

It's a bit thick, especially when cold, but I guess you have higher air temps than us

i use motul 300v 10w-40 on my b18c
it's a full synthetic double ester oil.
i change it every 4-5.000k or every 5-6 months.
always don't forget the oil filter and use a magnetic drain bolt !

 

[scott]

What brand of oil filter would you recommend? ill probably use 10w 40 then cos i change oil in my cars about every 4000 miles any way

I've got 5-40 in at te moment but I prefer 10-40 in. After 100 miles I'm swapping it over tomorrow.

Thats the 1st time that ive been able to find my car (ek9) on your website. Nice to see the oil im using on there (mobil super s)

 

[JoSh]

For fast road and moderate track use, then I cannot recommend Millers 5W 40 fully synthetic enough - great stuff!

Josh..

 

[Dipesh]

I've just swapped over to 10-40 now. It's much better. I'll only use this going on now.
