Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 18y 1m 19d Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted 10/08/10 09:35 AM Share Posted 10/08/10 09:35 AM When you say there was no oil in it how much oil came out when you pulled the sump plug out?I cant believe that any enginer would last longer than 10min with no oil.A guy at work once filled his civic up to the top of the oil cap and wondered why it didn't even turn over.I think he put in about 10 litres or something stupid like that.Mechanic at the servo came out emptied most out and he drove it home blowing so much smoke he couldn't see behind him.

Had it had its first oil change yet after the rebuild? As Maximus said,how much oil came out of the sump when you drained it. Not too good considering only 5000km old. New engine,dyno tuning,drags,calder all in under 5000km on running in oil wouldnt be good.

As long as you have a quality oil you will be good.

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 3d Gender: Male Posted 06/10/10 03:08 AM Share Posted 06/10/10 03:08 AM Darkness, 0w is not the best for these engines, although people here will say otherwise. Stick to 10w40 unless you have a seriously modded 6T.And dont use Castrol Edge. heard many bad reports.
