Dino to Syn?
Hi, I'd like to make the switch to synthetic oil in (1.6 L) 00 DX Civic
88,000 miles and was wondering if a flush of some type is needed? Or, just make the change? What weight Syn is appropriate? Thanks... |

I would shorten up on the next oil change, before switching over to
synthetic. Pars > Hi, I'd like to make the switch to synthetic oil in (1.6 L) 00 DX Civic > 88,000 miles and was wondering if a flush of some type is needed? Or, just > make the change? > > What weight Syn is appropriate? > > Thanks... > > |

2000miles sounds good.
I've been putting Mobel-1 into my car for the last 170,000km. Lately, inorder to reduce on expense for oil change intervals, I've extended by intervals to over 10,000km per oil change and have been closely monitoring the oil condition to make sure there's no grit in it. After 10,000km, the oil has gotten darker, but it's still clear and transparent when held up against the light. I'm probably going to push it for another 2000km before changing it out....it seems that the new Honda oil filters are doing a great job.
