Default Which oil for b16a1?
I've got a CRX with an Integra b16a1 ('92 I think). What weight oil was recommended?

10W-30 is the spec on B-series DOHC VTEC engines, IIRC.

The guy at the dealer kept trying to convince me that I was supposed to run 5w-30. I don't believe him though.

Well, 5W-30 is what manual says for my 90 Civic DX (D15B2).

Our oil chart says 10W-30 for the 99-00 Civic Si and all del Sol VTEC's, IIRC. I can check next monday to be sure.

You probably don't look at the bottles they sell to people. I am pretty sure they say mobil 1 on them.
