Default Using oil?????

Hey, What's up everyone. My question is this the oil cap shows 5W30. Is that what everyone uses or do any one use 10W30 & what brand. I'm thinking about my usual Castrol. Thanks....

Yep. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

I have never had a problem finding Castrol GTX 5w30.
Besides, I buy by the case. h:

And while we're on the topic....I want to remind everyone to "Just Say NO to FRAM Filters". Your motor deserves the best.

I go with Castrol 5W-30. If I remember W is for winter and if you live in a warm climate, 5W is perfect. Correct me if I'm wrong... I forget sometimes.

Go to your Honda dealer and pick up some 15400-PCX-004 filters. They're some of the best available for our cars.

I have read studies where the STP filters were of about equal quality to the OEM honda filters, so that is what I use. And plus they are $3 a pop.

Old OEM filters, which is better than the current Fram made filters. The S2K filters are specially made for high oil flow and filtration.
