Oil dealer uses 0w-30

cb550 · 5th July 2008, 17:08

Noticed the other day,my dealer's stocking 0w-30 as well as the 5w-30.Told me it's used for the diesel service.It's Shell Helix,which may or may not be of an equal quality to Edge,but I'm happy with that-my previous ES diesel was serviced with 5w-30(or40)

Honda UK have now issued a bulletin that strongly recommends the only oil that goes into the diesel is 0W-30, and nothing else!

I've updated the wiki accordingly.

Just booked the car in for it's initial oil change - dealer will use Shell helix Super Ultra 0w30.

£48 including oil filter - I think this is reasonable (for a dealer)
