2025 Honda civic type R - first oil change

[BoostBlue_TypeR]

First oil change ant 5k miles and bought some PUP oil , not easy finding locally but got it online . Although the ridiculous backlash on a fram filter and Pennzoil ( all the guys hating were for amsoil only ) I’ll still try it out. It’s a daily and no track time will be seen .

Ridiculous backlash?? Where?

Ridiculous backlash?? Where?

The type r page on Facebook , junk oil ( not amsoil or motul) and a crap filter .

 

[kschachn]

Okay.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the opinions of people on a Facebook car group. Most members don’t even own the car themselves or are scammers (I moderate a few FB car groups and spend more time getting rid of scammers than anything else)

Although there may be some backlash here for the "leaky Fram".

True

Nah, for one interval it will be fine. I have an Endurance that I bought for my Corvette that I was afraid of using for my last oil change but now I have decided to run it in a future interval anyway. I’m a cheapskate so the thought of having spent $13 on something and not using it is eating me up

I agree with you.
But there is even a condescending meme that keeps popping up around here.

This made me chuckle!

I concur that tossing a perfectly serviceable filter is wasteful, but I would not refer to a Corvette owner as a cheapskate.

Little do they know that Fram is the OE supplier, and the A02 is basically just a PH7317

Nothing wrong with PUP, though some people might object to the 0w20 even though that's OE.

Honda says you can even use an orange can for a double OCI

I object grade in that engine, forget PUP.
Euro oils. If you like Pennzoil, they have Euro L 5W30. Depending what Honda allows under warranty.
As for the filters, I stop by a local Honda dealership and just get OE, cheaper than FRAM in Wal-Mart.

Ben is that you smurf?!


What came on the engine from factory? A Black Roki? Seek them out!
I can't believe what I am seeing with this 710 number!
On an R !

Running swill water 0w20 will cause damage to your R. This has been covered on here before but I recently took these picture. 1 is a Fram, 1 is an Amsoil. Please tell Facebook to find the difference. Congrats on your R!

I maintain a honda car for a woman, and the OEM filter at the dealer is about a dollar less than anything else I can buy. Ford OEM for my 5.0 is maybe 10 cents more at the dealer than something else. I just buy OEM, or have people bring me OEM for their vehicles that I work on.

Nothing wrong with PUP. As far as the Endurance goes we’ve found some with a leaking leaf spring where it contacts the end cap. Worse case is your paying for high efficiency but probably getting OEM efficiency.

 

[gtical]

I run 5w-30 in my fk8. Wouldnt use anything thinner.

That PUP is a great oil and will serve you well. That is Pennzoils "Flag Ship" oil. People should actually try it before they comment on PUP. As for the the home/flash light test. These oil filter manufactures have multi multi million dollar Quality Control labs. I would not lose sleep using a Fram Endurance yesterday or today!!!

In before "0W20 will ruin it bro" opps too late.

Wait you mean they don't have a guy in a room with a filter cutter and flashlight checking these?
