My new Civic recommends 0w 20, however it is a bit more expensive, especially if done at a dealership. Is there much difference between 0w 20 and 5w 20? I heard the only reason Honda uses 0w 20 is to meet the MPG guidelines.
Automotive Honda recommends 0w 20 engine oil
AI Thread Summary
Honda recommends 0W-20 engine oil for its vehicles, including the Civic, primarily to meet fuel economy standards. While some believe 5W-20 could suffice, especially in moderate climates, using 0W-20 is advised for optimal performance and warranty compliance. The higher cost of 0W-20 is attributed to the superior quality of its base stocks. It's also emphasized that modern vehicles do not require oil changes every 3 months or 3,000 miles, contrary to outdated recommendations. Adhering to the manufacturer's guidelines ensures better engine health and longevity.
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have.
Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out.
You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Scenario 1 (figure 1)
A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material.
The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm).
At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force.
Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
