Redlineoils are out of stock, my engine is full right now so hopefully it won't be an issue but just wanted to check.
Thanks for the info.

I have a similar question, I just bought my car recently and need to top the oil up. It's fresh from a Honda 27k service, but that's all I know - have no clue what oil is in it!
What should I put in? I was just going to put in fully synth helix ultra but now not so sure

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about mixing grades but would avoid mixing types (ie synth / mineral).
Just done a quick google and found this which is moderately interesting reading (although I make no claims as to the accuracy...)

I've never had a problem mixing oil grades in the past.
The number of these oil threads that come up is quite amazing. Maybe Honda need to write a new section in their manual in chubby crayons to make it clear what to use?

Just an update to this: I still haven't received my oil after around a month and they are now ignoring my emails, a big to Redlineoils.co.uk
I've had to buy some Shell Helix to tide me over.

Redlineoil.co.uk no longer supply Redline products according to an email I received today, they are refunding me.
