Engine oil MOTUL or OEM Honda
Aside from the sodium levels, which they mentioned they aren’t really worried about but to check my coolant between changes (which I do and I’m not losing any). I feel pretty good about these results!
Motul 7100 10 w50 good after using 4000 km
Motul 7100 4T 10W-50 i use this and it's pretty good
Same motor (same car) and I use 5w30 Motul 8100 X-Clean EFE
Motul 8100 Power 5w40 oil. My shop recommends it, I'm based in NC, Autocross in the summer sucks, but my oil temps drop back around 214 degrees F when I come off the track.
Motul full syntetic 10w40, oem oil filter.
I use Motul in my built engine (not IAG) per the recommendation of the shop that built it.
If it’s actually an IAG long block, they spec Motul 8100 X-CESS 5W-40 (or an equivalent high quality 5W-40 full synthetic) because their bearing clearances are set up for that weight, not the thinner OEM oil.
currently I am running the Motul 8100 Econergy, it is good, it wasn't my first choice, but I found it at 40% discount in a physical store and my wallet wouldn't look twice, but it's a little too thin for my liking, and I'm looking to change with my next oil change
I dont know about the newer 1.5t in the crv's, but im getting rid of mine because of the oil dilution issue. Sent out an oil sample and it came back with 8.2% dilution on oil that had 2k miles on it with 0 idle time. All the technical service bulletins have been done and \"nothing\" is wrong with the car.
