What is that Neo oil and where do you get it? I change my own oil and I just want the best performance oil in my hard driven accord. I was thinking bout going over to the Mobil 1 full synthetic. I'm definately going full synthetic, one way or the next.

Research yourself. People who have switched to synthetic after using regular oil in their 3g for the first hundred thousand miles or so noticed mostly bad results.Originally Posted by riced_roach
using synthetic can aggravate leaks, but if youre engine is in decent shape you can use it... i ran mobil 1 for a while and it stayed cleaner than anything. Most oil is just oil, there is virtually no point of a synthetic blend, its virtually the same as regular oil, if youre gonna go synthetic you need to go FULL synthetic in order to get the benefit of the sythetic. Other than that... oil is oil so dont hesitate to use the .79 oil at autozone or whatever...

Lol i been using full synthetic since i bought my car and the only leak i had was oring gasket. MeangreenLXi I buy Neo fuilds from my friend that deals for them. Neo has tranny fuild for are cars, motor oil, brake fuild. power steering. basicly anything that is fuild. I have also neo tranny fuild. helps alot on gearing and smooth as shifting. better then honda MTF. but the only thing it cost ALOT. u can go to yahoo and search neo. or let me ask were esle u can get that Neo.

whats bad??? leaks??? Well if the oil seals were good in the first place it wont leak. Have you poured a bottle of synthetic lately????? you'd see that the cold pour of syn oil will have the same viscosity as when its hot. The dino oil usually pours heavier when cold and then thins out. This is why synthetic is good for cold areas of the world and moderate.
I've done enough research about synthetic. If you had issues with sythetic done blame the superior oil blame your tired oil seals or engine. 3g or not an engine is an engine.
Not everyone's engine is PERFECT. I am a college student with no money. Therefore I don't have the money to pour into getting all my gaskets replaced if they don't leak with regular oil. Therefore, when I put synthetic oil in my tired engine of 250,000 miles, it leaks and uses oil. This is the same case experienced by many other 3g owners. Therefore, synthetic oil doesn't do SHIT for me.
point taken, il stick to 2500 mile oil changes with dino oil
I havent forgotten my roots
This is the most import fact most of us need to know about oil.
yeah im with him....

Cool, I got some gaskets changed yesterday. The car didn't leak and I gotta check it this morning. I only checked after 45min or so. I got the oil pan gasket, oil filter housing gasket and the oil pan breather tube replaced. The mechanic didn't know where the o ring went, that's okay I got off with the labor, dirt cheap! so I couldn't be happier and if it does leak he said he'd do it in another week or so. He said the oil pan gasket he had to scrape off of the pan and he showed me all the pieces of the gasket that he scrapped away and how hard they were, it may have been the original gasket, the same for the other gaskets, the oil filter housing, he said was dead and the breather tube wasn't flexible at all. As he put oil back in my car, he said it was 5w-30 and added some Lucas Oil Stabilizer (I thought to my self, Starter1988 is some where smiling) and my mechanic said the stabilizer was good to have in the engine.

everybody know extra virgin olive oil is the best

According to the SAE white papers - the W stands for winter, the oils are blended with expanding polymers that actually make the oil flow like the numbers quoted.
In my accord I use API SG 15W 40 (caltex RPM Delo 400 diesel) or any brand that carries the same specifications. it runs extra sweet, it comes out clean as anything and this oil has a great cleaning property - coz its meant for diesels. You guys cannot imagine the conditions in Karachi, Very hot, dusty and smoky. Still it holds up for 3000 miles
Ive even used this oil in a turbocharged daihatsu charade, works like magic.
Just use the basic guidelines mentioned in the manual - only the API specs and viscosity grades count.
Uh ummm diesel? You use this in your gas motor?
i think he's saying he uses heavy oil cuz it's hot out there
i run 20w-50 and its not bad at all... My bearings are a little noisy at times tho, it keeps them quiet. Just dont run it in cold weather (shouldnt run it below 30* or so)

Why? What does it do for you ? I have always used 10w-30.
its a heavier oil and it quiets my beat to piss rod bearings that i thrashed by bouncing this car off the rev limiter for 5 years daily.

is the oil light supposed to be on when I just have the key turned to the on position? (not running but like radio plays and stuff)

What weight of oil would you guys recommended for alot of stop and go for long periods of time?
10-40 or 15-40 hell maybe even 20w-50. Stop n go is hell on your car

i dont think so dude
i do live in canada and the winters get cold, but i even had 10w30 in before i changed to 5 in february
it just depends where you are and how your climate is
