Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Differences Between 10w.30 and 10w.40

    Was standing there @ Autozone about to by a few bottles of oil (Looking to change the oil myself first time) And thought 10w 30 or 10w 40 ????

    Im guessing 40's thicker but whats the actual advantage .they cost the same ?

    ps im looking to use Castro high millage - anyone use this ?

      10w30 and 40 is thicker.. if you have high mileage you could consider using this. 5w30 is very thin oil and is better suited for newer cars

        Thicker oil can help any valvetrain noise you may have.

          Really? Because my valves tick and I use 5w-30 oil. If I use a higher weight oil such as 5w-40, would that decrease the ticking?

          Edit: I have 237,xxx miles on a stock F22a4

            5w30 and 10w30 are same at operating temperature. 40 weight is thicker oil. dont use that. Stick to 30 weight. The "W" after the number stands for "Winter" grade oil, and represents the oil's viscosity at zero degrees F. So you would want 5w30 for the winter and 10w30 for the summer. Honda recommends 5w30 but it doesn't matter as long as its 30 weight. You shouldn't really want 10w40 at all.

                Using a heavier grade oil in a hi-milage engine is not a bad idea. It's all about keeping your oil pressure high enough to prevent bearing failure. Hard to say what a Honda engineer might recommend for an engine with 200,000 miles on it.
