Looks like the full synthetic Honda or HGMO 0w-20 has been formulated right from the get-go if it is prescribed for the Type R as well as the run of the mill or should I say, garden variety Civics. Also, interesting that the oil deteriorates faster in the winter although I wonder if it also deteriorates fast in Severe Heat but since most of U/S has moderate temps in the summer, they ignore the Severe Heat scenarios?
It should be fine, at my dealer people bring own oil and we would never void warranty cause of it. The thought wouldnt even cross my mind.Hmm, so if I were to give my dealership 5W-30 to perform the oil change, could I show them this manual printout in case they threaten to void my warranty
Even if it’s not the required 0w-20?
I don't think I'm allowed to perform maintenance in a private apartment lot, especially something potentially messy as an oil change
Yeah, that's true. Good point.I don't think I'm allowed to perform maintenance in a private apartment lot, especially something potentially messy as an oil change
Personally, I think that 2-3 hours waiting at the dealership during their business hours is much more of a pain than dumping the used oil. I just take it back to Walmart. A ton of other places take it too, though.
They can't void your warranty unless the service department proves that the engine oil caused some kind of mechanical failure. All engine oil is certified to work in any gasoline engine so long as you get a weight within range and there's not that much difference between 0w20 and 5w30.Hmm, so if I were to give my dealership 5W-30 to perform the oil change, could I show them this manual printout in case they threaten to void my warranty
