That's because they look stinking! They just look really old and dated. At least the CRX has a unique look to it. Those old Civic's have always looked wrong imo :p
 
negative!

I'm running Fuchs Titan Pro 5w/40 in mine too.

Its just one of those things you have to do if you want to really take care of your honda.

I ran the fuchs 5w/40 in all my B-Series engines too.

Any 5W-40 will do from a decent brand. Its not something you HAVE to do.

If you are concerned about cost though something like Magnatec 5W-40 might help?
 
Oil doesnt offer perfect protection until X miles then simply stop working. Changing it often means nothing, some crappy stuff might still be crap even if you change it every 2000miles.

It's not like the oil they are talking about above is a Longlife oil either
 
The way my EP3 burnt oil it was like doing an oil change every time I topped it up :D It's a resilient engine. Maybe relax your full changes?

I appreciate that and I you know your stuff. This stuff isn't junk though is it, compared to the Fuchs? (serious question)

Ha yeah mine has a taste. Nearly on 15k miles on this change all short trips, be interesting to see what the oils like now. Although I've probably put 6 litres of top up in that time.

The motul stuff looks good to me. Full range of specs including our friend in Stuttgart who I'm off to see tomorrow. I'd use that over the original recommendation no problem. API SN and ACEA A3/B4 supersede API SL and ACEA A3/B3, as well as having higher performance requirements.

hah yea, I do like those wheels though, they suit the shape of the crx.

It looks lush, but you'll need to spend money on it to keep it going. Can you stand it? :p

I nearly bought an *amazing* CRX but I just couldn't get a policy. :(
