ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

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.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Sooooo...........

    since we've came to the conclusion that additives in general can be beneficial. How 'bout the weight of the oil you use? I know that synthetic=good. Should I be running 5w-30 in my '91 w/ 134k? She's been getting 10w-40. What is the difference in these numbers? (disclaimer: I am fully aware that is one of the most newb-ish questions ever asked)

        For these engines, 40 weight is probably a bit heavy. 5w30 is fine. If you use 10w40 you will probably see a slight mileage increase due to the thinner weight if you switch. The lower the first number, the quicker the engine will crank to get started. This is very beneficial in the cold winter days here in Minnesota.
        I see they recommend 5w20 in newer hondas. 5w30 is just fine in those. If you are EXTREMELY modified, like boosted, NOS, a top fuel dragster, etc. then a thicker oil is more beneficial for protection.

        Without knowing your current knowledge, the first number is viscosity at startup the second number after the 'w' is the weight or viscosity while at operating temp.
        I am running Amsoil Series 1000 5w30 full syn with an Amsoil EA filter in my Toyota Tacoma with 175k miles with 25k or 1 year OCIs (oil change interval). I plan to do the same on my cb-9 with 105k.
        Synthethic is a better product and if used correctly with extended OCIs, it saves you $$$. Win win, and who doesn't want that, right?

        Hope this helps.
