What engine oil do you use in the Beat?

10W30 What Honda recomment
Or 10W40?

A good quality 10W40.

Something like Mobil Super S or Castrol Magnatec

2.7 Litres including filter

I have changed to Castrol Magnatec, it's a little more cost but since I've started using it after getting the car I have not had any smoke issues.

Silkolene pro s. Expensive at £50 for 4 litres, but then again it's got a job to do and I never could understnd people that spend thousands on a car then use the cheapest crap oil possible to save a few quid:confused:

A good quality 10W40.

So there is no problem to use 10w40 in stead off 10w30?

You will struggle to find any range of 10W 30 oil in the UK, its not a grade that is normally used, Don't forget Japan does have a completely differant climate to the UK.

As you can see from the chart below 10W 40 covers the same range as 10W30.

After a thousans kms or so of fairly quick driving, my dipstick now shows about halfway. I'm wondering about some oil additive rather than topping up with 10W-40 at this point/ Does anyone use any additive, or have you found any benefit in using aomething? I'd say that my car has low-normal consumption, no smoke, etc.
