All,

Heads up!

Spoke to Cox motorsport this morning good guys. Spoke to them about the ow20 oil. The chap on the phone said you can use the ow 20 currently for sale however just today they have received the specific Type R version from castrol.

Here it is:

A non-inflated price too (based off opie 0w20 motul stuff).

probably not a problem with the free servicing thrown in for 5 years, but i wonder if honda can supply in 20l qty's.

[nav786_nitro]

20ltrs damn! Thats loads why would you need that?

[veehexx]

did it with the s2k; 5litre for a full change, plus topups in between (probably 0.5litre per 1000 mile usage). Also worked out cheaper buying in bulk than 5litre at a time.
thinking about it; no topups and twice the oil life in the CTR vs s2k the 20litre would last a lot longer.

Bugger, I've already ordered 4l of the normal 0w20, should have waited lol. Although your telephone call does suggest the stuff I've ordered is still okay.

Perfectly mate. It meets the standards required.

How weird. Got a call back from my dealer about the oil. They told me they wont have any in stock till after xmas. And cox motorsport have it in stock?

Having ordered the 'old' oil on sunday, i emailed a query about what they were sending me versus the 'new' oil.

I recieved a call from Dan at Cox's at 8:15am this morning. He said there is no difference in the oil other than one has Honda branding.
The text on the website relating to the Honda branded oil is taken striaght from Honda themselves and obviously aimed at promoting sales of their own oil.

He was happy for me to return my original order and them re-send the Honda branded oil if i wanted, but i didnt bother.

I also kept the 'old' stuff too. It's Castrol, has the right specs and Engineered with Honda on the front (or something like that), that's good enough for me lol

[veehexx]

i popped in to the dealer today to grab a litre of it; mobil1 branded for £12 on the nose.
also got a plastic bag and a few dipstick wipes in that price too.

i've now hit 850 mile and it's not used a drop of it yet. still on the max mark.

Same and same. The salesman was quite forthright in telling me to keep an eye on it, and I have, but it hasn't moved.

Can we use Castrol edge professional h 0w20?
