YESSSSSS

White sus.

 

just be careful boo

 

Went and checked the oil in the Acura this evening. Was way low, and I was looking all over for wet spots.

Then I remembered I own a Honda 4 cylinder that is famous for sending a good portion of its oil out the tailpipe. Oh well, guess I'll step it up to 5w-20 next oil change to mitigate some of that. My 3RZ has me used to never seeing the oil drop below the full line.

 

be like james

 

i'm surprised camaro genius and his 370z buddy haven't wrecked their shit hauling ass around on all the ice in the neighborhood

 

how are you liking the car otherwise

 

K series engines have baby tiny rings, anytime they're cold they're burning oil hard. High RPM, they're burning a lot too. Putting around warmed up, no probs haha. 5w-30 is where it's at, hell the race guys run similar rings and put 20-50 in.

 

Not there yet.

 

Thats funny, my car sits for a few days at a time while I alternate between it and the Taco for a few days. And when I drive it I tend to have a lead foot. So both of those boxes checked haha. Gonna grab the stuff to change it tomorrow. Almost at 5k since I last did it. I fail to see how this car can have a 10k oci reccomendation.

 

I like it. Not overly in love with it, but I didnt want a car that I would get atatched to.

 

Yeah, I don't get the long interval, I understand the thin oil though helps them meet emissions standard by reducing internal drag. Probably a large difference too (over x amount produced) with the relatively small torque number the engine produces. But I'd take not burning it and not fouling up my cats over the ~1mpg any day.

 

i bet half the dealerships are just pumping in 5W30 out of their bulk drum anyways

the toyota dealerships here do it for anything

 

Lots of people build K series engines for huge power... the consensus seems to be the engine is pretty loose from the factory, even stock ring gap they take boost with a grain of salt. So I see no reason they cant running a heavier oil too.

@Blue92, does yours have the notorious cold start timing/oil pump chain rattle?
