Default Engine oil

Hi,

I'm looking to change my engine oil soon. Does anyone know of any places that are doing discounts and is a good buy?

I'm currently using 10W40 castrol magnetic, and am looking to change to 5W40 (i think).

Oh, and what oil filter do I need? (sorry for the stupid questions, it's my first time)



Thanks,

Personally I would stick with castrol, shell or mobil. OK might cost a smidge more but I reckon its worth it. Just bought Mobil 1 for

I'd get my filter from the Honda dealer to be honest. You want the 04 one as it is smaller, but better according to a breakdown of different oil filters by RoadRage, or was it Xviper?!
