hi all, i have a civic diesel 2.2 & now have 58000 miles on it. i bought it with 50k & the last 2 services i used Lucas racing oil 10 40. i noticed that this oil is being burned. i use the car in traffic all the time with 9 months of sun reaching 40+ for 3 months in a year. the average speed is 16mph.
a can of Lucas of 5 liters cost 95 euros so its not a cheap oil.
what oil do you suggest please because now i m worried?
thanks to all for your help. my only problem here in Malta is that you wont find all types of brands.for sure here we dont have Gulf & Redline.i will try my luck with the castrol/motul/fuchs . i will let you know the results.
Yes you will need 6 litres for oil&filter change,Cox Honda are doing full service kit including 6 litres oil for £119 incudes oil, air fuel & cabin filter oil is mobil 1 0w30
As you said earlier the gulf competition 0w-30 is a better oil? Works out at £43 for 5L + 1L sorted. Now to get all the filters, do cox motorsport do a filters package with no oil?
Oh do civinfopeople get a discount on opies? :lol:
Yes, but if the car has a DPF (according to my data, some 07 cars have them), you need an oil meets the ACEA C2 or C3 spec. If it doesn't have the DPF, go for the Gulf.
What do you think of either Castrol or Mobil ? Or would you say Gulf is better ?
I was looking at castrol, but noticed theres two types one specifically for turbo diesels and one just the normal 0w30.. So does that mean I can only the TD or either.
I know Honda recommends Castrol, which is why I was going to stick to Castrol, but noticed Cox motors sell Mobil 1 at a fair price.
Mobil 1 and Castrol Edge are both good oils, but if you want the best, I'd go for the Gulf Competition. It's ester based making it the step above other two.
Just had a look at your site, some good prices, noticed what looks like an error,
Muc off wheel cleaner, you are stating the normal price is £7.99 but your offer price is £10.80 ooops
Greetings from Malta! I bought Gulf FE 0w30 from Sambros in Mosta. Cheers
