NEED HELP!!!!

Post by needlez2006 »

Okay, i just bought a 2001 Integra type R. i am very happy with it but i guess the owner before kept the manual for the car. so i was wondering if there was any pdf files i could download that would have all the maintainence specs for the car. furthermore i want to change the oil on the car tomorrow and i heard you can use 5-30 or 10-30, would it be okay to run royal purple with a k&n filter? How many quarts would i need to use? thank you for all your help.

Try amsoil. The best on the market. I dont run any thing but 5w-30 in mine. One piece fo advice, dont run anything but full synthetic in your R. Nomatter what kind of oil you use dont touch that cheap shit.

Welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay here!
Instead of a pdf file you might want to pick up the Acura Integra Service manual 1998 it's priceless!
As a matter of fact, I just looked this up for you in the book.

"4.2 qt for oil change, including filter"
5/30 or 10/30 is fine.

As for the type of oil...
I used mobil 1 for a long time and now using GTX 5/30- Sadly it's cheaper to burn off.

K&N filter is fine.

Royal Purple is good, I have been using it and have had nothing negative to say about it. I use 5W-30 plus thats what the car calls for anyways.
