Hi
I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR, Shell Helix, Millers XSS or Motul 6100

Cheers
Tim

As above, a 5w-40 is ideal, but you can use a 10w-40 as well.
Cheers
Tim

You need an MTF for the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers EP 75w-80, Gulf Gear TX and Motul Motylgear are good cheaper alternatives.

Hi
A 5w-40 flows quicker from cold than a 10w-40, so gets around the engine quicker and gives better protection.
I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

I need bit of random advice to on oil to use My crx del sol has done moon miles 158k currently running 10w40 cheap halfords stuff, now been advised that due to the mileage and quality of oil that it is poss reason as to why it is smoking so easy.
What oil would you recommend for an engine of this age and mileage? maybe a slightly thicker grade?

I wouldn't go for thicker, anything over a 40 isn't really ideal for most Hondas unless they are really worn. I'd use a better oil, the Halfords stuff is really basic, so can burn off easier. A 10w-40 synthetic would be a better choice.
Cheers
Tim

According to my data, it's a bit of a weird one - Total H50126, which is a turbine oil. Not something we have, sorry.
Cheers
