About to do my first oil change for my New Civic Si. Should I use synthetic oil and if so which one is the better one to use?Should I use Synthetic Oil for my 2007 Honda Civic Si?
It might be a good idea to look in the owners manual first
and see what is recommended from there.Don`t just go
and put anything into your car,you may do more harm than
good.Most of the modern cars will take synthetic oil but
it won`t hurt to make sure that its ok to use.Should I use Synthetic Oil for my 2007 Honda Civic Si?
Yes, a synthectic like Mobile 1 or castrol would be best, use A multi-grade, like 20w-50w
I say wait longer. If it's your first oil change, the motor may not be fully broken it. Synthethtic is made up of smaller molecules. I say wait til 6 or 7K miles. Plus if you make the switch to synthetic stick to it to take full advantage of the syn. properties.
A few thousand miles is the perfect time to switch to a synthetic. A high-performance car like yours will benefit since the extra heat created will not break the oil down. Look into Amsoil, see how it compares to Mobil-1 and others: http://www.amsoil.com/lit/g1971.pdf
