Engine oil Castrol or OEM Honda

OEM Honda Engine oil

I would recommend a hybrid crv, great gas mileage, reliable, plenty of room in the back as well as cargo. I had a 2022 crv exl before trading it in for an EV, only maintenance I did over 25k miles was oil changes, tire rotations, changed wiper blades and repaired a tire leak. Absolutely loved it but traded it in because charging EV is cheaper and has less maintenance.

Pros: great gas mileage, reliable
Vehicle: Honda
Mileage: 40233 km

Castrol Engine oil

I'm seeing a lot of strife around these comment parts on this post; but I will tell you this: If previous owner used only conventional, you best use conventional for the sake of the rubber seals on the block. If you want to eventually run synthetic after your first rebuild, be my guest, although I would recommend going the sohn adapter at that point, just for extra insurance that what you're doing is good for the engine.

I don't know where you're located, but I've personally ran Castrol GTX oil in all my cars up until now; the only thing is, it's harder and harder to find conventional oil that is of thinner grades. Which isn't a bad thing, because the RX8 needs thicker oil than what's on the oil cap anyway! 5w-30 should be your minimum thickness, but really, it's recommended you go thicker, to like 10w-40 for year-round, and 20w-50 for track days or extremely hot climates. There's this shell oil for diesel that's rated at 15w-40 that I was going to potentially pick up and start using. Yeah your fuel economy is gonna drop a tad, but you're really doing it for the sake of your bearings.

P.S. get an oil catch can that vents to atmosphere if legal in your area. It will save you heaps of headaches down the road ????

Pros: good for bearings, thicker oil recommended
Cons: fuel economy drops

Today I changed my engine oil to castrol power1 Cruise 15w-50 with TVS engine oil additive. Post that my engine starts to vibrate at bit early rpm & getting hot more quickly & frequently.

Cons: engine vibrates, getting hot
