I opted for Castrol Magnatec 10W 40 Semi synthetic as recommended by Performance Autoworks.

Honda suggested Mobil Synt-S 5W 40 Fully synthetic.

Not sure which it runs on better tbh, but having had a look in the owners hand book at the time they are both good oils for the engine.

I bought mine from Asda. £22 for 4 litres. Think you need between 4 or 5 litres for an oil change.

Merlin, oil is one of the most important parts of an engine and good quality oil ensures a longer running life Wink

Always buy the best you can afford.

I got 4L of the Magnatec from Argos for £20

Im just a bit "meh" on the subject of oil, since I cant see/feel (anything measurable) the difference between GTX and better stuff. I make sure there is enough oil in the car, thats the really important bit Laughing
