I wanted to get some opinions from others - regarding engine oil to be used.
Naturally most car manufacturer's would recommend using their own oil since it was specially made for the car. But forgetting all that, I would like to know if there is any particular things I should be looking out for. I just recently bought a Honda Civic Euro - and surprise - its due for service in a couple of months. I got it from Albany Toyota so I dont know if they have changed the engine oil and done a service on the car before selling. I had assumed that all dealers would do this but the service sticker on the windshield has not been changed - although the WOF is new and is valid for 1 year.
Anyways, what I wanted to know is if its ok for me to go to another car garage to get a standard servicing done (change engine oil filters etc) or should I stick with Honda? If another mechanic is fine, should I be on the look out for types of oil they use?
Thanks
