Noob question - 5W30 or 5W40 in a S/C'ed engine
Noob question - 5W30 or 5W40 in a S/C'ed engine
Noob question here. Looking at dumping in some Motul oil for the next oil change. Had a look at Motul's site and got major confused; they have SOOOO many different types. Talked to one of the authorized resellers (a Honda Dealership), and they said the typically for a NA engine, they would use the "8100 Eco-nergy 5w30". But since I am S/C'ed, the 5w30 is too thin and I need to go to the "8100 X-Max 5W40".
Any oil guru's out there to throw in
?? Our winter's here gets pretty cold!!! I try not to drive in the winter, but there are times I need to take the car out.

Run 5W-30 and run a Redline racing motor oil.
All the other synthetics like "Royal Purple", "Mobil 1", "Penzoil", aren't really 100% synthetic. Redline is. If you're A/T, Redline/Amsoil Synthetic ATF would be good also
