Take it somewhere that sells the same brand/type of oil and ask if you can trade it for the type you need. They can't prove you didn't buy it there without alot of extra effort
Put it in and use it.
Even those ancient Hondas used 5W-30. 10W-30 is NOT recommended - unless you literally have no other option and will change the oil to the correct viscosity shortly. (Even the wrong oil is better than no oil.)
- Why do people get mad over the fact that their cars require full synthetic oil? I work as a mechanic and found some people do not like the fact 2010 and up toyotas and Hondas and almost all 2014 cars and European cars require full synthetic oil. A majority of the anger comes towards toyotas and Hondas. Despite me explaining the increased intervals, they still get angered at the fact. Is it just me or does less time doing oil changes that save you more money in the long run end up coming out cheaper despite the increased price and why would they be angry saving money?
- Best synthetic oil for my Honda CBR250R? I've been using the Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 motorcycle oil but I'm looking to switch to Amsoil Metric 10/40 motorcycle oil. They both are the same price. Is the Amsoil a far superior oil?
- Is going from synthetic oil in my '03 HOnda Hybrid to regular oil bad? Over 100K miles, always used synthetic oil. Took the car to my mechanic to have brakes checked, and he thought the oil looked dirty so he drained it and put in regular oil. Now I'm concerned about my engine. Advice please? I do not know what kind of regular oil he put in.
- If in the owners manual it says I should use 5W-20 motor oil, can I use 10W-40 motor oil instead? I have a 2009 Honda Fit. I just recently bought 10W-40 and when I got home to put oil in the manual said 5W-20. What's the difference? And is it okay if I still use the 10W-40?
