Hey guys,

I'm fitting my M2B4 the next week and was wondering what was the best oil for it?

Cheers in advance guys! :)

OEM Honda or jaguar/landrover is a good choice.

Opie oils bud ;)

I think they have got a sale on at the moment :?: but if it's not discounted then you can get an LG discount 8-)
