just wanted to see what kind of oil you guys are running...the regular 5w30 stuff or is anyone running with something different? should a different grade of oil be used in civics other than 5w30

RE: what kind of oil do you use?
Valvoline 5w30. If you go 10w40, you will lose efficiency. Some people use 10w30 when it is really hot out, but I stick to the book.5w30 is thin enough to quickly lube up the engine on a cold start and thick enough to keep it lubed when you drive it hard.

guys who've used 10w30 have you upgraded from 5w30? if you have is there a noticeable difference at all? i'm just curious...also is it best to go with a solid brand name? penzoil, castrol etc. rather than the i guess not no-name but gas station named oil? you get what i'm saying?
