Best Synthetic Oil for my Honda Accord. - Robbie

What is the best synthetic oil to use for topping up my new Honda Accord diesel?

It hasn\'t used any oil yet - just over 3,000 miles - but I\'m off to France again next week and want to take some oil with me. I\'ve looked at all of the labels on the various oils, but none mention whether they are synthetic or not. Magnatec - just found out above that it\'s not synthetic - mentions synthetic engineering on the label, so I\'m a bit confused.

Hi Robbie,

What does your handbook recommend?

I don't think they recommend any particular make. But find what spec they would recommend (like API XX or ACEA XX) and then find any major brand oil you want which falls in to that specification and the correct viscosity range.
