Yet again my dealer has put in 10W-40 - last time they did this I kicked off and they changed it for 0W-30. Let me guess which grade is cheaper?
I think it states 10W-40 in the manual. To be honest I always just used fully syn in my previous car, but was told by a mechanic that you can do more harm than good! Basically the 0W-30 oil is thinner and not designed for your engine??? I'll stick to the 10W-40 as recommended by Honda, its still semi syn.
