What kind of oil do you use in your Honda?

[p5200]

I've been using Valvolene 10w 40 ATV oil but, it's like $8.00 a quart. Is that about the going rate? Or is there cheaper alternatives that would be suitable? Thanks

I use Mobile-1  10w-30 synthetic oil from Walmart in my equipment. It's $60 for a 12qt cardboard container, 10-40w is the same price.

Is that the motorcycle version, or regular mobile 1.

[QuadMan49]

Regular synthetic Mobile-1. Works well in all small engines.

Thanks Q ! I wasn't sure if it would work good with a wet clutch.

Hm; so no need for expensive Honda approved oil?
How about oil filters? Any other place where to get them cheaper, or, is it a bad idea? I know in cars some filters, even brand names are awful and my mechanic said to be very careful which ones I use.

[Gwbarm]

I use either OEM or Wix oil filters, but there are some good brand filters, I would stick with reputable names Fram, stp , purolator.

Can’t go wrong with the Honda oil, I think 

[Gwbarm]

Agreed, I dont have a honda, but i use yamalube, and  Suzuki Ecstar, oil in my machines.

I use Mobile-1

[Gwbarm]

I think Mobile-1 is one of the best out there, i have been using it in my cars since the 90s with great results, havent used in in ATV because it doesnt meet the specs listed in the manual. Glad to hear its wokjing for you with no issues, i was always cautious because of clutch slippage. I will try it on my next oil change.

KLOTZ

Genuine filters etc and Sikolene or Fuchs Agrifarm

I have used 5w30 full synthetic for around 10 years in mine because that's what my car requires and never had an issue.

If the honda has a hydrostatic transmission I would recommend OEM honda GN4 oil, 10W-40 for most hondas 2003 and older and 10W-30 for most 2004 and newer. Hiflo oil filters are a good aftermarket option.

The Valvoline 10w-40 mostly. Also had good luck with the rotella 15-40
