Engine Oil
I have been using 10 W 40 engine oil for my car. I had asked a car
mechanics for this. I looked up www.hotaccord.org today. One of the post there suggests 5W/30 for car engine. I wonder what other accord owners using?

Re: Engine Oil
10W40 has not been recommended for cars for many years due to the waxes used
to extend it to 40. What year car? You should be using that recommended in the owners manual and listed in stickers under the hood. The only reason to user higher viscosity is in a worn out engine to slow down consumption. <suyashsen@gmail.com> wrote in message news:4c2a55bb-f569-44b2-b1f1-850127247e4e@2g2000hsn.googlegroups.com... >I have been using 10 W 40 engine oil for my car.

One time back during the war-- there we were on extended patrol and we had to change the oil in a deuce-and-a-half. So we killed two water buffalo, rendered the fat out, cut it with 2 quarts of officer's urine and blended in a six pack of Bud. Man, that baby purred all the way back to the base...
