Engine oil for K20A

smoothgroove, Feb 13, 9:50pm
What is the most suitable engine oil for these ! I have used Magnatecin the past for EJ20T, EJ25T, SR20DE and 6A13TT. And they all have been running very well. But I have not had a V-tec before. Thanks.

mobil 1 gold,keep an eye on the level oil

why! a 10-15w to 30-40 would do just fine, and if its chewing through oil it will have a problem ( probably because ur using a very light oil )

Did you buy just the engine, or do you own the car it was built for too!

because its a high strung 4cyl with high compression.
they use oil,does not mean there is anything wrong,you wont see any smoke etc,also need a good oil for the chain and tensioner.

dont buy a performance car if you carnt afford decent oil every 5k or 95+ octane petrol.

Cool - and obviously you're asking us here because the car's handbook is missing.!

Like everything else the more money you spend the better oil you get !
