[digitaldrifter91]

i have a 91 honda accord and i push it really hard. its a good running car. no problems only oil comsumtion a little at the highest rpms. i was wondering since im using 10w30 should i go higher like 15w-30?> im using mobil drive clean...is there any benifits...160k miles =) thanks

I have never seen a 15W-30. Did you mean 15W-50?? If there is a 15W-30-not sure that would help you much.

hahah my fault, yea i guess its that grade...ne thing higher. i just want to know if i will benifit from it. 15-50 my uncle said use 25w-30 or something like that, seems kinda high to me. im starting off new cause im doing my auto rx treatment so i want to have like a fresh start you know.

W-T-F are you talking about? Put down the joystick and start this thread over again.

Try out one of the high mileage 10w30s, such as Pennzoil or GTX HM, both of which are formulated on the thicker end of a 30wt, and should reduce consumption without costing an arm and a leg. Or you could try Pennzoil 10w40, which is a thinner 40wt oil.

JohnnyG LMAO Mark

I've been using that 28W48 stuff and it rocks!

haha humm

I think a little 45-70 would solve all the problems. Whaddaya think Ruger man?

I think after you clean and flush the muffler bearings with the AutoRX followed by a full drain of the halogen fluid, the Accord will be as good as new!

 

[rugerman1]

JohnnyG , If a 45-70 can't get the job done try a : 25-20,32-20,44-40,25-06,30-06 Just remember the first number is for WINTER SHOOTING! For gear lubes try: 338-06,300-378,338-378 For an all-round,do anything straight-weight I like my 458 !!!!! Mark(tongue firmly in cheek) p.s.>Don't forget to add Lube Control & #132 Moly EP!

 

[Quick_lude]

Hehe.. ok all kidding aside.. How much oil do you burn in how many miles? If you use a lot moving up to a 15w40 might help alleviate consumption.

 

[digitaldrifter91]

i have no problem with consumption really but when i hit like 2500 miles i am down to half of my dipsitck..

Had an oil analysis on a pump come back with ISO 57 oil in it one time (supposed to be ISO 46). When I asked the greaser to show me the drum of ISO57, as it looked like a great compromise between 46 and 68, he turned a tad red, and the next analysis was spot on 46 again.
