    FULL SYNTHETIC??

    Ok so I'm about to hit the 100 hour mark on my 2018 BF250. I was told to use the Honda brand 10w 30 for both the break in and every oil change up to 100 hours. My question is what brand of full synthetic do you guys run in your Honda's?? I see Honda does not make a Synthetic and very few make a true marine grade full synthetic.

    The way I read manual any oil not FCW rated will void my warranty. It does not say it has to be honda fcw but it does say must be marine grade fcw.

    From the manual

    If Honda 10W-30 FC-W oil is not available, Honda recommends that you use API service category SG, SH, SJ or SL oil

    Ok Thank You I read it wrong, so any car oil API SG SH SJ or SL is ok now I understand I thought it was of that grade, but must have marine moisture additives in it.

    Mobil 1 EP (Extended Performance)--a superior oil to regular Mobil 1 synthetic. There are many comparable oils like Amsol, etc.

    Just make sure it’s 10-30. I wouldn’t use 0 or 5/20 etc.
