Default s2k recommmed motor oil

Hey guys,

In the manual, it said 10-30 motor oil. Is this correct?

So which one is it???? i know the manual says 10w30 but i thought 10w40 shouldn't be too big of a deal since it can get to the 100s here during summer time??

The recommended oil weight is 10W30. Honda doesn't recommend any other weight. They apparently know what they are doing, so I tend to listen to their sugestions. They have had a lot of experience with very high revving engines.

Well, I just got my car serviced and switched to Mobil 1. Believe or not my dealership was putting 5w-20 in my car. So...for those of u that say Honda recommends such oil, ppl. do whatever they want to do to their car and even Honda dealership. My car feels smoother...cleaner, like it can breathe better and the clutch is not as stiff. The changed the clutch oil.
