Which OIL recommended for the B16b


Gulf competition is my oil of choice after trying many brands over the years in many honda engines, from past experience consumption seems to be minimum (near enough zero)compared to the pro -s or what ever it's called today.

I'm going to be using the 10 40 in my ek9

Been on the gulf for afew years in My trackcars. Low oil burning and kept everything healthy.
 
Was using 10w40 simi syn castrol magtec and would burn about half litre a month , I switched to 5w30 fully synthetic valvaline and iv yet to top up and it's been over a month,
 
Synthetics are more resistant to burning off than a semi or mineral oil.

CASTROL EDGE 10W-60
is any good for b18cr 96spec on very hot climate?
thanks
 
60 is too thick, I don't like running that in my turbo trackcar.
Nevermind a road na engine...

go with 10w40 cyprus climate is not like shara desert i know some people are to anxious about the oil they using you can mix 10w40 and 15w50 to make something thiker but not too thick as a w60 oil ?
 
brother uses 0w-50 on his ITR and it runs 100%, no smoke and no head noise that a lot of them suffer from.
 
0w-50 is a bit of an odd grade. As the gap between the cold and hot viscosity is so large, it can lead to the oil breaking down quite quickly to a thinner grade.
 
kinda thought that, but the oil only does 2-3k miles before its changed. I use the fuchs pro s 5w-40 and cant fault it. have used the motul 300v and the millers stuff and tbh they all worked the same for me.
 
Fair enough, I would go for the Fuchs myself as if your brother is using the one I've heard of, it costs a fortune (or it did when I saw it).
