The Honda brand is popular among Russian motorists. The cars are very technological, their crossovers and SUVs, such as the CR-V and Pilot, are good at overcoming Russian off-road. The corporation's engineers are constantly making many innovations in each model of internal combustion engines (ICE). They have their own characteristics, requiring the use of special lubricants capable of serving these motors with maximum efficiency. Honda 5W30 oil composition is designed for most models manufactured by Honda.

Features of modern Honda engines

If we look, we will see that for the last decade and a half, Honda has been recommending the use of an all-season low-viscosity original Honda oil - 0W20 or 5W20 for its new cars. The only exceptions were two models - Civic Si and S2000. Since 2012, this condition is mandatory for all new models. What is the reason for this decision?

At one time, the engineering staff of the corporation developed the legendary engines of the B, D, ZC series. They were replaced by newer families - such as L, R, K. They demanded a different approach to the concepts of motor construction - to be more economical and environmentally friendly.

A feature of these motors is very small gaps between the surfaces of the parts, which indicates a high level of production technology. That is, a more liquid lubricant is able to create a stable protective film in such gaps. She does not need to seal the gaps between the piston rings and the cylinders, because these parts fit very well. But energy saving is at the highest level.

Low-viscosity engine oil provides maximum engine cranking in all temperature conditions. The lubricant composition almost instantly goes to the parts at startup, even in frost down to -35 ° C. Thus, oil starvation of the motor is excluded, leading to its accelerated wear.

What does viscosity 5W30 mean for oils

In simple terms, viscosity is the property of oil to provide a certain resistance to shear (displacement) of one of its molecular layers relative to another under the influence of internal forces. It is necessary to determine what the 5W30 temperature-viscosity index means for the properties of the oil composition. It was assigned to the product according to the laboratory test methodology of the SAE classifier, developed by the Society of American Automotive Engineers. The viscosity of oils has been divided into two categories - low temperature and high temperature.

All-season oil Honda SAE 5W30 has a "winter" viscosity index equal to 5W. This means that it ensures normal engine cranking and oil pumpability down to -30 ° C. Both of these indicators are important when starting the engine in the winter cold. They are measured using special devices - viscometers.

The high-temperature indicator is 30. Its values \u200b\u200bare measured at engine operating temperatures of 100 and 150 degrees. Kinematic fluidity is measured at 100 ° C, and dynamic fluidity is measured at 150 ° C. It is not clear why they write this: "Oil with a viscosity of 30 is suitable for use in heat up to + 20-25 ° C." This is wrong because the temperatures inside the motor are much higher. Moreover, it is cooled forcibly, regardless of the air temperature.

Oil formulations with a viscosity of 5W30 are thicker than 5W20 or 0W20. They form a denser oil film. It is less prone to bursting if the clearances in the engine increase with use. In addition, less grease will be spent on waste. Honda oil viscosity 5w30 should be used if the engine mileage has exceeded 100 thousand kilometers. By this time, he will begin to consume more liquid lubricant. It penetrates through the piston rings into the combustion chambers and burns there together with the fuel mixture. The reason is the same - increased gaps.

Honda Ultimate Full Synthetic 5W30

Fully synthetic product manufactured by the American company ConocoPhillips commissioned by Honda. Its high quality is indicated by the values \u200b\u200bassigned by the American API standard, as well as the American-Asian ILSAC. Their values \u200b\u200bare SN and GF-5. The manufacturer claims that this lubricating composition outperforms other similar engine oils in quality. The synthetic base, made from polyalphaolefins (PAO) in combination with thickening additives, allows to obtain a fantastic value of the viscosity index - 215. This means that the oil liquid retains all its temperature-viscosity characteristics throughout the entire operating temperature range, without liquefying or thickening. As a result, this product can withstand any driving style including sporty one. He is not afraid of the heavy loads that the engine can experience.

The oil is intended for servicing modern gasoline engines of Honda and Acura cars produced after 2000. The interval between replacements for Russian operating conditions is from 10 to 12 thousand kilometers of travel.

Honda Genuine Synthetic blend 5W30

The manufacturer claims that the basis of this oil composition is semi-synthetic. At the same time, it is emphasized that it was created using VHVI technology. What is it? The answer is simple - the lubricant is made from mineral oil. In this case, the method of deep cleaning is used - catalytic hydrocracking. This technology makes it possible to produce a base oil that is very close to synthetic in quality. It has only one indicator worse - thermal oxidative stability. Therefore, this lubricant must be changed more often. For Russian conditions, this figure will range from 7 to 8 thousand km. The main characteristics are practically not inferior to those of 100% synthetics.

This oil is also produced by the American company ConocoPhillips. Who produces this grease in Europe is not known for certain. There is unverified information that it is made in a different package in Germany. In addition, there are also Japanese-made lubricants - Honda Ultra LTD Motor Oil SN 5W30, as well as other grades of the series - Ultra LEO and Ultra Gold. They are produced in tin containers by the Japanese corporation Idemitsu.

Each car manufacturer in the vehicle manual prescribes the characteristics of a lubricant that is suitable in terms of parameters for a specific type of engine. In this article, we will tell you about the recommended engine oil for the Honda CR-V.

Conclusion

When buying a car oil, you need to pay attention not only to the base base (synthetics, semisynthetics, mineral water), but also take into account the viscosity parameters of the lubricant. Liquids for winter and summer have different fluidity, they are poured depending on the season. The former provide engine start-up without warming up, the latter protect the engine from overheating. Recommended engine oil for Honda CR-V is indicated by car engineers in the manual. Its use will have a positive effect on the engine and lubrication system.

In the instructions for the car, the manufacturer insists on the use of a proprietary car oil, indicates that filling with various kinds of additives is unacceptable.

How to choose the right motor oil for honda? The manufacturer himself, most often, if the question concerns a belt motor, recommends oil of the SL / SM / SJ class with parameters 5w30, 10w30, and 0w20, 5w20 if we are talking about a chain motor. What do these numbers mean?

So, the first number is 5 (10, 0), this is an indicator of the viscosity of the oil at cold temperatures. The lower the first digit, the more fluid the oil will be at negative temperatures. For example, if the 10w30 oil begins to thicken, and as a result, lose its properties at a temperature of -35 C0, then from 0w20 this will happen already at -43 ... -45 C 0. The most optimal choice for a car operated in Russia will be oil with an index of 5w ... for belt engines and 0w ... for chain engines.

The second digit (number) of the index indicates the viscosity of the oil in a hot environment. The higher the number, the higher the temperature at which the oil does not lose its viscosity. Here, the indicators can be very arbitrary. You just need to remember one rule - the less engine wear, the more correct it is to choose the oil recommended by the manufacturer. So, for example, with runs up to 100,000 km, you can safely fill the engine with a 5w30 or 0w20 recommended by the manufacturer. With a greater mileage, when micro gaps and workings appear in the engine, it makes sense for a belt engine to fill in oil with a higher second indicator, for example 5w40, but for a chain engine, you will need to continue pouring 0w20 5w20. The reason for this is the design feature of the chain motors. This mainly applies to the K-series engines.

Choosing an oil manufacturer is equally important. Since 2007, Honda Japan has officially recommended Exxon-Mobil oil for its engines, Mobil 1. This is the official recommendation for Japan. If this tells you something, you can safely stick to it. I would only like to note that Mobil 1 for the Japanese market slightly differs in terms of the level of overall product quality due to the use of more promising lines in the Japanese market. Also, it should be remembered that the recommended Honda Mobil 1 in the Japanese market is more expensive than the most expensive fully synthetic oil, Honda Gold, which is not very popular in the Russian market due to its high cost.

Honda engine oil tests carried out in 2007 showed that Castrol and Shell oils have a very high percentage of waste in Honda engines. Oils manufactured by Chevron, Eneos have a lower percentage of waste, but at the same time they leave varnish deposits in the engine. Korean oils ZIC and Dragon are more stable in terms of burnout and varnish deposits, but, unfortunately, have very little resistance to aging processes. An oil change of 5000 km has a significant effect on engine performance for the better. LiquiMoly oils showed excellent results at the end of the tests, in many ways exceeding the original requirements. BP, Texaco oils have not been tested, so we cannot say absolutely nothing about them.

The use of oils from Russian manufacturers in Honda is highly undesirable. The reason for this is the high percentage of waste, deposits and coke. This does not mean that the quality of the oil is poor, it demonstrates its incompatibility with Honda engines.

Speaking specifically about what kind of oil you can fill in Honda, we would recommend adhering to the following points:

Engine up to 100,000 km, belt - 5w30 (5w40). Manufacturer: Honda (original), Mobil 1, LiquiMoly

Engine over 100,000 km, belt - 5w40. Manufacturer: Honda (original), Mobil 1, LiquiMoly

Engine up to 100,000 km, chain - 0w20, 5w20. Manufacturer: Honda (original)

Engine over 100,000 km, chain - 0w20, 5w20. Manufacturer: Honda (original).

I would like to make a reservation right away that these parameters are not the ultimate truth, but it would be most correct to adhere to them if we are talking about a car with “honest” mileage, which is under the supervision of competent craftsmen. Unfortunately, one often hears accusations from a person of bias towards manufacturers - some say they changed everything on time and used what they were told, and everything died, others poured all their lives “whatever was wrong” and everything works perfectly ... What can I say? Apparently, there is such a thing as "the individual characteristics of the car." On average, a timely and competent oil change significantly extends the life of a Honda engine. This is fact number two.

Even a single fill of the wrong oil can damage the engine and fuel system. So what kind of oil can you pour safely into a Honda engine? Let's try to figure it out together in this article.

The best oil for the entire Honda line

Some car owners, when choosing lubricants for their iron friend, are guided by the recommendations of friends, colleagues and reviews on the Internet. But in fact, first of all, it is required to take into account the technical indicators of the machine.

Honda engines are available in two types:

• belt;
• chain.

For the first, oils with the following markings will be suitable:

• 5w30;
• 10w30.

And for the Honda chain engine, it is better to purchase consumables with different numbers on the packaging:

• 0w20;
• 5w20.

In the listed combinations, each number has its own meaning:

• the first is responsible for the viscosity of the oil at subzero temperatures - the lower the number, the more resistant the lubricant to cold weather;
• the second, on the contrary, displays how the oil behaves in the heat - a higher number in the marking "speaks" of the preservation of the original degree of viscosity at marks much higher than zero.

Wear is also important when choosing an oil for Honda engines. In a new car, it is better to pour only what is recommended by Honda Japan.

Later, when the degree of wear will increase in the Honda engine gaps and burrs will appear, it will be advisable to purchase materials with higher rates. This approach will extend the life of the engine and save the driver from unpleasant surprises.

But besides the listed parameters and nuances, the car owner should focus on the list of products recommended by the manufacturer.

Honda Japan has been recommending to car owners for 12 years mobil 1 series engine oils... They are produced both for the Japanese market and for the Russian one. But it is worth considering that motor oils for internal use in Japan are somewhat more expensive due to the higher quality of the raw materials. Although you can find a significant plus in this - most Russian car owners can afford even the most expensive Mobil 1.

The manufacturer warns that it is strictly forbidden to use Russian lubricants when changing the oil! They give a large percentage of deposits and coke, which does not at all indicate their low quality. The reason is different - Honda Japan claims that Russian oils are not even 10% compatible with the original engines of their brand.

Oil for every Honda model

The Honda concern produces different car models, so each has its own types of recommended lubricants. Several options are discussed below.

Oil for Honda CR-V ("Honda Cr-v")

For "Honda SRV" you can use 2 groups of oils:

• synthetic;
• semi-synthetic.

The first group can safely include 4 types of lubricants:

• HONDA ULTRA LEO 0W20 SN - actively recommended by the carmaker and provides better protection against friction;
• MOBIL 1 ESP X2 0W-20 - Honda Japan approves this product for its good lubricating and protective properties, in addition, it is economical;
• RAVENOL LONGLIFE LSG SAE 5W-30 - motorists often bypass this brand, but it gives a very strong film that protects the motor from internal damage;
• GENERAL MOTORS DEXOS 2 LONGLIFE 5W30 - a product of good quality at a reasonable price.

The following semi-synthetic materials can be poured into the Honda engine without fear:

• HONDA ULTRA LTD 5W30 SN - the original product does not change its properties when used in a wide temperature range and reliably protects against friction;
• MOBIS PREMIUM GASOLINE 5W-20 - this oil for the Honda SRV engine performs well in case of sudden temperature changes;
• TOTACHI ECO GASOLINE 5W-30 - of all the brands presented, it is the best protector against corrosion and friction.

Oil for Honda Accord

This car model is extremely popular in Russia, but the oil change still raises many questions among the owners. Taking into account the age of the machine and the wear of the motor, the following lubricants are recommended:

• TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE GF-5 0W20 - the synthetic product does an excellent job of protecting components and systems from wear;
• TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 ENERGY 0W30 - confidently copes with cold start and oxidation protection, also helps to reduce fuel consumption;
• TOTAL QUARTZ INEO MC3 5W-30 - maintains the exhaust cleaning system in perfect condition and meets all European standards.

When using the listed products when changing the oil in the Honda engine, it is not recommended to add third-party additives. The required substances have already been added to the oil by the manufacturer.

Engine oil for Honda Civic

To understand which oil is safe to fill in a Honda Civic engine, you first need to decide on its type:

• synthetic;
• semi-synthetic.

And in that, and in the other groups, there are suitable options. If you plan to use synthetics, then the choice should be stopped on the following brands:

• Honda Ultra LEO 0W20 SN - due to the highest base number, it is considered the best option;
• SHELL HELIX ULTRA 0W-40 - breaks all popularity records due to high quality and attractive price;
• IDEMITSU ZEPRO ECO MEDALIST 0W-20 - excellent protection against wear, so it is advisable to purchase it for a car with experience.

Among semi-synthetics, motorists' attention is worthy of:

• HONDA ULTRA LTD 5W30 SN - a clear leader among the options recommended by the concern;
• LIQUI MOLY TOP TEC 4200 5W-30 - reliability and quality are its main characteristics;
• GENERAL MOTORS SEMI SYNTHETIC 10W-40 - the best option for buyers with an average income;
• MANNOL MOLIBDEN BENZIN 10W-40 - the lowest cost among analogs with similar characteristics.

Oil table for all other Honda models

When choosing oil for engines for Honda cars, it is better to rely not on your own preferences, but on the authoritative opinion of the engineers of the auto concern. Over the years, the specialists have gained invaluable experience, on the basis of which they compiled the following table.

How often do you need to change the oil in a Honda engine?

The frequency of changing the oil in the engine of Honda vehicles depends on many factors:

• year of issue;
• mileage;
• worn out motor;
• season and so on.

The auto concern recommends replacing every 7000-8000 kilometers traveled. This is the maximum allowable maximum, which can be reduced if the machine is actively used or cannot boast of good technical condition.

• aging of engine oils for the Honda engine - it is impossible to create a lubricant that does not lose its properties over time;
• the need to change the oil filter.

Car owners are often interested in how much oil should be added to a Honda car engine in order to avoid further refills. The answer to this question depends on the volume of the motor. But on average, specialists pour 3.5 liters.

If the owner makes the replacement himself, and not in a service center, then it is advisable for him, after a comprehensive cleaning, to fill in as much oil as it enters exactly to the middle between the minimum and maximum marks.

In order not to make a mistake with the choice of lubricants, you can use tabular data.

Tests carried out several years ago showed that such popular brands as Castrol, Shell, Chevron, Eneos give a high percentage of waste and leave varnish deposits. And ZIC and Dragon do not adequately protect the engine from aging. When using the listed brands, the replacement has to be carried out already at 5000 kilometers, otherwise the risk of serious damage increases.

There is an opinion among motorists that Honda is very capricious in operation. But in fact, it is enough to follow your iron friend and know exactly what oil to pour into the Honda engine in order to have a long time and with pleasure.

Honda CR-V began its history in 1995 and two years later it was introduced to the domestic market. Constant technical updating of the model maintains the stable popularity of this model among motorists. For all the time, more than 10 types of power plants were produced, adapted to different regional conditions. At the same time, the most unpretentious and reliable engines of this concern are the motors installed in the 1995 - 2002 models.

A lot depends on what kind of engine oil to fill in the internal combustion engine. The same lubricant in different motors can show a completely opposite effect, and even cause engine breakdown, in which the permissible parameters differ from the characteristics of the substance being poured. In the rating below, you can familiarize yourself with the best products of different brands, which, in terms of their parameters, are suitable for use in Honda CRV motors.

Best synthetic oil for Honda CR-V

Oil in this category compares favorably with other types of lubricants for the engine, having the best parameters for operation in modern engines. They do an excellent job with oxidative processes, temperature extremes, and tough operating conditions. They do not age, and during the entire period of use they do not lose their qualities, providing engine parts with reliable protection against friction.

5 Eni i-Sint 0w-20

Optimal protection at high loads
Country: Italy
Average price: 1372 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5

Surprisingly, Eni i-Sint 0w-20 is practically not found on the counterfeit market, and if there is, then their number is at the level of statistical error. At the same time, engine oil from the Italian concern has a number of characteristics that distinguish the product favorably against the background of competitors. Suffice it to say that the oil price segment is one of the most demanded. At the same time, the conditions in which the Honda CRV engine operates do not affect the stability of the lubricant and its viscosity.

Detergents are responsible for the absence of carbon deposits and deposits, and the service life can be easily extended - the oil does not age much longer than standard drain intervals (10 thousand km). Interesting reviews are left by the owners of Honda CR-V who use the product in winter - the launch is not at all complicated by the low temperature. The surface tension of the oil film prevents the lubricant from draining into the sump during standstill. At the time of the factory, all friction pairs are provided with a sufficient amount of engine oil in advance.

4 Motul 8100 Eco-nergy 0W-30

Better oil film strength
Country: France
Average price: 3910 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

Motul 8100 Eco-nergy 0W-30 engine oil can be poured into Honda SRV engines, although some users insist on the opposite. There are numerous reviews of the successful use of this product, and those that indicate many years of successful experience in operating motors with this lubricant. The oil perfectly tolerates temperature loads, has high detergent properties and reliably protects parts from friction.

Moreover, this protection is so effective that it literally stops the wear of units exposed to critical loads. It's all about the best surface tension. The oil film is so strong that it does not break under load, and while the engine of the Honda CRV is turned off, it remains on the rubbing parts without flowing into the sump. Needless to say, it makes it easier to start the engine, especially in cold weather. The price, however, bites, but for many Honda CR-V owners who want to increase the engine's resource, such expenses look quite reasonable and reasonable.

3 IDEMITSU Zepro Eco Medalist 0W-20

Most effective additives
Country: Japan
Average price: 2550 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Modern energy-saving oil is perfect for Honda CRV engines of the latest generations with mileage up to 100-150 thousand km and minimal wear. Having become constantly filled with this motor lubricant, the owners noticed a slowdown in the wear processes in the motor. The cylinder-piston group and the camshaft, due to the presence of organic molybdenum in the oil and the high washing characteristics of the product, received reliable protection against friction, regardless of the nature of operation and the ambient temperature.

In the reviews of some owners of Honda SRV, conditions for a successful engine start are outrageous for many other oils (the thermometer dropped to the very bottom, close to -50 ° C!). In addition to the almost perfect adaptation to Russian conditions, this engine oil demonstrates an excellent price advantage over the original lubricant. At the same time, both brands are produced at the same plant in Japan, and in their basic characteristics differ from each other no more than Siamese twins. In any case, almost none of the Honda CR-V owners who started pouring this engine oil into the engine (we are talking about the original product) were disappointed.

2 MOBIL 1 ESP X2 0W-20

The most economical oil. Manufacturer approved
Country: Finland
Average price: 3245 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

A distinctive feature of the oil is a low content of harmful compounds in exhaust gases, which does not lead to contamination of particulate filters. When carrying out routine maintenance on their regeneration, the owner can expect a pleasant surprise - there is no need to clean. This feature of Mobil 1 esp is confirmed by the reviews of the owners of Honda SRV, who witnessed the above fact.

The cleanliness of the lubricating system, of course, will be an order of magnitude higher than the filter, and this does not depend at all on the nature of engine operation. Engine oil perfectly resists corrosion, oxidative reactions, and practically has no consumption (if only leaks through gaskets and oil seals). Preserving its properties for the entire working period, the lubricant perfectly saves fuel, allowing it to reduce its consumption by a record 2.3% (this figure also depends on the features of operation).

1 HONDA ULTRA LEO 0W20 SN

The API requirements for this grease significantly exceed the oil tolerance for all gasoline engines installed in the Honda CR-V, which means that it can be safely poured into the internal combustion engine of this model with any year of manufacture. Developed specifically for Honda, the grease of the same name is of high quality, has energy-saving properties and provides high-quality lubrication of moving parts of the engine under heavy loads, while reducing fuel consumption.

The minimum proportions of phosphorus and sulphated ash content and high temperature stability prevent oil consumption for waste and the formation of deposits in the lubrication system. The reliability of this product has been confirmed by numerous reviews. They also have a high frost resistance Ultra leo during winter operation, which provides an easy engine start in frosts down to -37 ° C.

The best semi-synthetic oil for Honda CR-V

Recently, this category of oils began to include liquids obtained using the same technology as a fully synthetic product. They have similar performance characteristics, do not age too quickly - in short, they behave like synthetic ones, and at the same time are cheaper. Of course, there are differences, but they are so insignificant that they make it possible to successfully use this grease in modern cars, including the Honda CR-V.

Rating (2019): 4.5

Pleasant value for Honda CR-V owners is far from a compelling reason to choose. Although this, of course, matters, especially for car owners who have run more than one hundred thousand. The reason that forced this oil to be poured over and over again into Honda CRV engines is stability and resistance to temperature extremes, enviable for many competitors. This does not go unnoticed, especially for motors operating in urban environments.

The reviews noted such positive changes in the engine's operation as reducing noise and vibrations, increasing acceleration dynamics, and even efficiency. In many respects, these changes, wonderful for worn aggregates, are due to the better surface tension of the film and molybdenum disulfide. The first provides the best conditions for starting the engine, and the second eliminates rough wear marks by filling the appearing scuffs and development in friction pairs. The choice in favor of ENEOS Super engine oil, according to those who made such a decision, was generously rewarded with an extended engine life.

4 SHELL Helix HX7 5W-30

Excellent aging resistance
Country: Netherlands
Average price: 1421 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

The oil is very popular in the domestic market, and it can be poured into Honda CR-V engines of previous generations with decent mileage. However, there are also limitations - it is necessary to have firm confidence in the originality of the product, since there are counterfeit products on the market, and in a rather serious amount. Fake oil can be purchased even in a large retail chain (there are reviews with such a sad experience) - in this case, the vendors were let down by the supplier.

SHELL Helix HX7 5W-30 natural grease does not age ahead of time and can reliably serve for engine lubrication for up to 6.5-7 thousand km. During operation, carbon deposits do not form, and the oil film reliably protects parts in all operating modes, and there is confirmation of this in the reviews of the owners. City traffic jams or high-speed driving when using Helix HX7 do not harm the motor at all. The main thing is timely replacement.

3 MOBIS PREMIUM GASOLINE 5W-20

Stability under temperature loads
Country: South Korea
Average price: 1,355 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Designed for South Korean cars, this oil can be easily used in Honda CRV engines, which have a variable valve timing system (VTC). By the way, even in the very first generations of this model, the K20 and K24 engines were installed, which already had this system. High-quality base base and modern highly active additive components are perfectly suited for modern energy-intensive engines, having increased resistance to temperature loads.

The energy-saving properties of this oil provide more economical operation, reducing not only fuel consumption, but also the lubricant itself, which lasts until the next change without refilling. Most of the reviews characterize Mobis premium on the positive side. The oil copes well with any operational loads, has good fluidity, long operating cycle and has proven to be a very frost-resistant lubricant, providing easy engine start in severe frosts.

2 LIQUI MOLY Special Tec AA 5W-30

The most reliable motor protection
Country: Germany
Average price: 2707 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

One of the few engine oils that is recommended for use in engines of Asian cars, and Honda SRV belongs to this category. Deep distillation allowed to achieve ideal cleanliness of the base lubricant, comparable to more expensive synthetics. The best ability of the product to suppress oxidative processes prevents the formation of deposits in the engine, and the detergent components effectively dissolve existing sludge or varnish deposits.

If you fill in the Honda CRV Special Tec AA engine on an ongoing basis (it can be used all year round, with the exception of regions with the most severe winters), reliable protection against friction will be provided. Judging by the reviews, there is a decrease in noise and vibration, and a stable viscosity in all operating modes ensures a careful use of the engine resource. It is also noted that the properties of engine oil are preserved throughout the entire operating cycle - it does not age before replacement.

1 HONDA ULTRA LTD 5W30 SN

Wide operating temperature range. Reliable friction protection
Country: Japan
Average price: 2970 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Obtained using hydrocracking technology, this motor oil differs little from pure synthetics, but has a slightly higher viscosity. This is the best fit for Honda CR-V engines with high mileage and, therefore, engine wear to varying degrees.

The manufacturer guarantees high performance of the grease in any temperature conditions, which allows it to be used throughout the year. With its significant cleaning effect, engine oil maintains the internal cleanliness of the engine. At the same time, a pronounced viscosity stability is manifested, which provides a dense oil film on rubbing engine parts. Even when the engine is idle, this film does not break down, and provides lubrication to the rubbing surfaces in the first seconds after starting, until pressure appears in the system.
