Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2008Engine Oil
I have been using 10 W 40 engine oil for my car. I had asked a car mechanics for this. I looked up www.hotaccord.org today. One of the post there suggests 5W/30 for car engine. I wonder what other accord owners using? 10W40 has not been recommended for cars for many years due to the waxes used to extend it to 40. What year car? You should be using that recommended in the owners manual and listed in stickers under the hood. The only reason to user higher viscosity is in a worn out engine to slow down consumption. >I have been using 10 W 40 engine oil for my car. I had asked a car > mechanics for this.

I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil. If I can't get that, I use rendered Grizzly Bear fat. They both work just tickety-boo.

They both work just tickety-boo. Uh huh, that'll work too. One time back during the war-- there we were on extended patrol and we had to change the oil in a deuce-and-a-half. So we killed two water buffalo, rendered the fat out, cut it with 2 quarts of officer's urine and blended in a six pack of Bud. Man, that baby purred all the way back to the base... >>> .. >>>>I have been using 10 W 40 engine oil for my car.

Do you get better mileage from officer's urine than from enlisted men's urine?

Actually we had considered that-- but the consensus was it's easier to scare the piss out of an officer than a buff.... >>>I have been using 10 W 40 engine oil for my car.

They took a fair amount of time writing it, it seems only logical that you give a little time to reading it. I use 5w/20 in mine, as that is what is recommended...

You don't really need oil in the engine. It's just a plot by teh fuckin Arabs to sell more oil. Just use water, or beer. Signature"Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
