i used whatever it says on top of the cap where you put the oil in... and i used it year around... and i didnt use a particular brand... just whatever was cheapest... oil is oil... guess the only difference is what they put it in, and from what country it came from lol
Well u actually wanna use what your book says. Now if you read carefully it will tell you to use like 5w30 in winter ( cuz its thinner and its colder outside) And use the 10x40 or whatever during winter so it doestn break down as much. If you use really really thick stuff like (really thick) like over 20w50 you will have problems starting ur engine. Dont wanna go to thick in winter. Expecially on your transmission.

I live in Florida also, I suggested 10W-30 any synetic type. Could be Mobil1, Castrol GT, Redline Oil, Royal Purpule all good oil. I use Mobil1 I like that the best for the cost.
for your weather 10W-40, 10W-30 would be OK, any brand (Castrol, Mobil1, Motul, Shell,...) is good as long as your intervals are on 10.000km (6.000 miles) or even less
I think a 5W30 synblend will be great all year round
__________________ Johnny is a ricer. He drives a lil 94 civic sedan, primered with a 4.5" tip muffler and dropped on springs he cut himself. Johnny gets on the highway and with his pedal to the floor, he hits 80 mph in a quick 10 minutes. Johnny ends up bottoming out and swerves into his buddy Billy. Billy drives a 96 honda accord with a knock-off bomex body kit he found on ebay. Since Billy is an idiot, he could only find woodscrews and scotch tape to keep his body components on. Once hit, all his body components fly off the car and into oncoming traffic. From there, they cause a 20 car pile-up. Now thier buddy, Joey, who drives his mom's 87 civic sedan, wanted to race too but apparently removing his A/C and putting "powered by civic" on his windshield for more "power" wasn't enough to let him keep up with Johnny and Billy. Joey could only make it to the entrance ramp though, because he passed out of heat stroke. He runs the car into a guard rail and now traffic is all nice and fucked up....
See what your ricers do to people? So the moral of the story is to not be a ricer...if you already are one, turn in your keys to the nearest dumpster and bash your head on a brick wall until you forget you even bought the car....or die...whichever comes first.
