I just checked my oil today and its kinda lot. The oil goes up to the middle of the low and full line. My question is, what kind or brand of motor oil should i top it up with? I just got my last oil change about 2 weeks ago from the dealership.

 

Find out what viscosity of oil they put in. Some dealers put in goofy oil like 0W20 because that's what all the other Hondas take. You should have 10W30 non-synthetic in there for now. Any brand name oil will do - Castrol, Penzoil, Havoline, etc.
The oil level can be anywhere between the lowest mark (means time to add a qt.) and the highest mark (means full). Don't let it get below the add mark. If it's smack dab in the middle between the two marks and you feel you must have it at the high mark, then it'll take 1/2 qt.

 

Ok, thanks. I'll add 1/2 quart tomorrow.

 

RUN only mobil one green. thank you for your support. vote bush.

 

Any reason why I should only run Mobil One Green?

 

Not really, dont see why he said that...

 

Musta been a jab at Bush. Mobil 1 is a synthetic. You should wait a few thousand miles before switching. That is, if you really want to go synthetic at all.

 

Oh, didn't even think about that

Oh and as far as the oil question goes...listen to xviper

 

Went with friend to pick up tanker of oil in Beaumont, TX. Observed about 10 brands on cans being filled from same oil lot, including Castrol. Like gas stations, am never sure where product is coming from. If this is common, I guess we have to settle for hoping the oil meets lab testing for required specs.

 

I went and picked up a quart of Castrol today. I will probably go synthetic when i reach 10k miles. I'm only at around 4500 now.
