My dad has a 2007 honda civic lx, auto. We bought it on march 12 2007 and we still have the break in oil from the factory because the car wasnt driven alot during this time since my dad didnt work the first 2 months of that time. Currently the car has like 3800 miles and i plan on getting an oil change when it gets to 4,000. Going to go with what ever the dealer has becuase we are goign to be storing the car for the winter. So Synthetic is kind of a waste in this situation since i will have to switch the oil out anyway after winter.
Um so my question is this i guess you can say i am a noob when it comes to oil but i have been very interested in them and want something good for this car. Yes , we also want a full synthetic.
After reviewing all the top brands of synthetic i have come to the conclusion that Mobil 1 5w-20 extended performance is the best.
This oil had the highest vis @100, Vis. index, flash, and pour. I did the research off of their data sheets so i know its not that accurate but its a start right.
the oils i compared were
amsoil xl 5-20
mobil 1 ep 5-20
mobil 1 5-20
Valvoline 5-20
RP5-20
Quaker state 5-20
Redline 5-20
Kendell 5-20
ALL these are fully synthetic oil.
If tjhere are any other good oil that you guys recommend feel free to add them on.
I have been readin these oil analasis and how you guys can tell whats wrong with the engine ie. coolant leak and i think its awsome. My brother , in his older model civic uses mobil 1 and after only a couple thousand miles the oil smells burn and like fuel. Any ideas what that can be? and he changes oil around 3,000-3,500.
Alright well i am looking forward to all the replies.
