Do I have to use synthetic oil?
I drive a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. The last two oil changes I've had, I've used synthetic oil. Do I have to keep using synthetic? Can I use a blend or switch to conventional altogether? I've done some research, and I keep finding that I Honda recommends conventional, but is that an issue with the hybrid?
Unless it specifically states in the owners manual that synthetic oil must be used, conventional is just fine
Use the real thing
I dunno
- 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.
