Engine oil RED LINE 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

Rating 5.0

Ran Redline 5w40 when it became purely a summer car in ~2013. ... Not seals are leaking, no issues of any form. Car has been Cobb stage 2 91oct tuned (OTS, not pro-tuned) almost 14 years, with a Crawford v2 AOS, Killer B oil pickup + windage tray being the only reliability mods, and it doesn't burn a single molecule of oil.

Pros: no leaks, no issues, no oil consumption
Vehicle: Subaru

Redline is great, used it for years in a track car.

My STI also used it for a while (0w40), but then switched to Rotella.

Pros: Redline is great

OEM Honda Engine oil

I ran 10W-50 and 10W-60 for a few years in an old and beaten up Honda in the hope of reduce oil consumption to avoid having to open the engine. Long story short: it's not harmful, it's an expensive gimmick, the only real-life effect is fuel consumption will slightly worsen and that Honda had occasional issues with VTEC (a well known issue in those engines when running high viscosity oils).

Pros: not harmful
Cons: expensive gimmick, worsen fuel consumption
Vehicle: Honda

We had a guy trade in a 10th gen Honda Civic with the L15BE (known for head gasket failure mostly) that he filled with thicker oil. Started knocking like crazy when we changed the oil for the sale.

Cons: knocking like crazy
Vehicle: Honda Civic
