I need some oil suggestions

[eblade]

Hello everyone this is my first post so here I go. I own a 93' Honda civic that has about 185k miles. I driven the car for about 3 years now and added about 70k miles on it. The first year I had the car I didn't do my own oil changes because I didn't have any tools to work on it. Now I can do an oil change in about 20 mins on this car. I used to put in the yellow bottle of Pennzoil (10w30) and a Fram

filter. Recently I change to Valvoline Maxlife (same weight) and Purolator PureOne

filter. Was this a good choice? Any suggestions?


fyi, I was thinking of seafoaming the car but I heard this loosens up important carbon build up that helps compression in each cylinder.

Eblade: How long do you intend on keeping this 93' Honda civic?

If not for only a yr or 2 the oil and filter that you are using now will work fine.

Does the Car use oil between oil changes?
How much?

If your going to keep it for a few yrs... I would do an Rx treatment.

As for the correct oil: I don't own a honda civic: So i don't know what type of oil that engine likes.--> alot depends on if the motor uses alot of oil between changes.

Then start using Fuel Power every other tank full to keep the fuel system clean.

The OCI is usually 3000-3300 miles and it burns about 0.5 u.s. quart per 2500 miles.

Ok I see that you edited the link in, thanks again!

If anyone has any more suggestions please comment in. Oh how is Auto-rx compare to Seafoam?

I myself have never used it, for the fact all of my autos have run either M1 synthetic or Amsoil.

With twice a yr oil changes and the motors are very clean.

Over 1/2 of the members here {Maybe} more have used it once or twice in their life times and have had very good results. {Cleaning Varnish and Sludge out of their engines}.

I'm also sure most world prefer it over SeaFoam.
Like I said, I have never used it, I just have sat here and read hundreds of threads of members who say---> Rx Works.
