On a civic 1.5 turbo, i did around 5k miles and car is 6 months old so i decided to take car to dealership to get my oil
changed for first time, in between regular service intervals at 9k miles or 1 year (or maintenance reminder in car) whatever comes first, i was inside shop when oil was changed, first thing i noticed when he undo drain plug oil was pitch-black
and he threw some stories that original new car oil from honda has some break-in special oil additives and that changing
oil at 5-7 k miles is ridiculus, i do around 9k miles per year ... i defended that over 10 years that will cost me around 800euros and it is minimal cost for longevity of turbo and engine itself...
they use only SHELL oils, so i told him i want one of the cans home with me to check if this oil is any good
OIL IS shell helix ultra 0w-20 SN
is this oil good enough for my engine or not ?
thanx for replies
