Followed Ferrets directions and all went well. Of course being in Florida my Honda dealer only had the 40W oil and not the 30W. I asked and they said that is all the use down here as it is so hot. No problem... Simple job.
Tonight I warm it up a start to go for a little ride and darn if it doesn't have a funky lower end rattle... Oul level is fine.... Doing a search I find the thread about this issue... Do I really need to drop the oil and get a 30W?? Seriously crazy.
I'm in Houston. EXACT same story with me. Honda had the 10W40 full synthetic, I bought it. Had the low end rattle, saw the same threads here about this issue. I went to Honda, bought the 10W30 full synthetic, another filter, and changed it out.
For me, rattle went away. YMMV. This is the craziest thing, really, doesn't make sense. Again, YMMV.
