I am going to get a b16 engine imported from japan and was just wondering which engine oil i would put ? i was thinking then 10w40 as its a old car and i live in london. I am a mechanic just wanted some advice thanks.

i used to put castrol edge 5w 30 in my integra that had the b18c engine never had any problems

shell 10/40 helix is the best around for a older or high mileage mills ( my opinion) not to expensive around 30 bar for 5 litres but the inside of my engine is spotless change every 3 to 4 k miles it has 190k on the clock now, when I had the head off hardly any bore ware at 145k and could still see partial honing marks

Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers XSS/Trident or Motul 6100
