Has anyone got any opinions on Tesco Semi Synthetic Oil 10W40.
It seems to comply with all the appropriate symbols in the hand book.
Do we all just pay through the nose for branded goods ??

I think its supposed to be a lower viscosity... 5W40 fully synth is what honda reccommend.

At the dealers yesterday the guy said honda use castrol "magnatec professional C3 5W-40"

If i was buying from a forecourt thats what i'd get otherwise stick with opies selection:

Different dealers use different oils from time to time. Mine has used Shell and Castrol for my oil changes, and it's been fine.
