Engine oil AMSOIL or OEM Honda
Fellow mu-X owner here! If you're thinking about upgrading from the standard Isuzu Genuine Motor Oil 10W-30, check out the ZIC X7 Diesel 10W-30 Fully synthetic. I used Amsoil Turbo Truck 5w40 too (10k km interval) but it's expensive for my Garage queen mux haha. Mobil Delvac1 5W-40 is good as well.
I have Signature in my 25. Smoothed out the engine noises quite a bit.
Engine noise is a little, well noisy, mine is less rumbly/vibrationy after I changed my oil and used Amsoil Hybrid oil. I can’t generally feel anything when the engine kicks on now, before I could definitely feel it every time it kicked on.
I have a 2023 Civic Si.
I did every oil change at around 8k miles which is when my maintenance minder popped up, even though the dealer recommended every 5k. No issues ever, now at 46k miles.
I switched oil to AMSOIL signature series synthetic, from everything I read, it out performs other oils, used to use Mobil 1
My 2016 GT350R has almost 25K miles and has never needed oil between changes. I use Amsoil every 5000 miles, sooner depending on track abuse.
Amsoil 100%, I tested it quite a few, and I’m noticed the least amount of decoration and power loss with it
5w30 Amsoil, ignore the tick it's normal.
My biggest regret, not swapping out the shitty 0w-20 factory filled oil for some 5w-30 Amsoil, Motul, or Pennzoil Ultra platinum the moment I took it home. Don\u2019t wait till 1k miles.
Get a catch can but that mobile 1 oil you are using is for shit . Amsoil is best for mustangs and the best for that matter period it\u2019s cost but you can run it 25k
