Oil Change
Hi All
i have been scouting the forum to find an answer on the right oil to use. Honda have told me that they use 5w40 full synthetic. is this right you think?
My oil looks clean and sweet but I've done about 5k on it and think i should change it.
has anyone got a good way of doing it without jacking up the car? is there a nack to it?

The stealershiper just wants to mess up your car. The s uses 10w30 motor oil. I only do my oil changes when it starts to turn brown.
you can get the fumoto drain valve for a quick and easy oil change without jacking up your car.

How is it offensive? That has to be the most ridiculous way of analyzing oil ever....it's a common known fact that many oils will darken up even with only 1000 miles in an engine. I'm just stating my view on it. You're welcome and entitled to your own opinions and because this is a public forum, can voice them if you so choose to.

The S can run properly with oils other than 10W-30......also.....changing your oil when it "turns brown" is not an accurate indication of when to change your oil.....that has to be one of the dumbest (no offense) explanations of an oil change schedule...

Right, but not 5w-40 unless your engine is burning oils. You can run whatever you want but 5w-30 or 10w-30 is the proper motor oil....when the oil turns slightly brown is the same as when you had driven for 3k-5k miles or even more because over the years, engines and motor oils have change and they dont break down as quickly. It's easier to check the color of the oil because you have to check your oil level often rather then having to remember your odometer. You can change it how ever you want because it's your car.
yea, "it's a common known fact that many oils will darken up even with only 1000 miles in an engine" so the color oil change tactic is even better and healthier for your engine.
