Honda pcx oil change

Post by Mike888 »

Hi, I currently have 200 miles on my pcx and have owned it for half a year already. I would like to change the oil but would like reccomendation to whether go synthetic or not since it is only 200 miles. Any advice or oil recommendation is appreciated. Thanks mike

Actually depends on how long interval between changes are you planning. If you change that whopping quart of oil every couple thousand miles then any good quality Dino lube is fine. If you intend to go a long distance between changes go for the synthetic . However for the price differential it seems logical for me to go synthetic .

With an annual mileage of 400 miles per year I wouldn't even bother to think about changing it.

We turn our engines at over 100,000 rpm at work. We run nothing but synthetic. The benefits outweigh the extra cost, but in the end it is up to you if you want to save a couple of bucks. One quart is not going to bankrupt me. I put 500 miles on mine the first week I had it.
