    If it was serviced thru dealerships within its warranty period, it will surely be using the 0w20 FS oil. Honda dealerships use three types of oil - 0w20 synthetic, 5w30 synthetic blend, 10w30 mineral.

    This 0w20 oil has been used by Honda for more than 12 years now. Back then, the only synthetic oil available was the 5w40 VTEC LEV and it was phased out in favor of the greener 0w20 FS oil.

    For diesels you should drive away slowly maybe after 20 seconds from starting. Diesels will take a long time to reach operating temps if you just leave it in idle from a cold start. That could cause a lot more fuel dilution because the rings haven't fully expanded yet.

    If you have a gas engine with CVT, I would wait until the idle RPM goes down to the normal level when warm because that is what most user manuals recommend. Putting it in drive at a higher RPM might affect the CVT's longevity.

    I have a turbo gas vehicle with CVT. I usually wait for the blue light indicator to turn off before driving off. It takes a kilometer for me to enter Sucat road and another 4 kilometers before entering SLEX. By then, I go pedal to the metal all the way before exiting at C5.

    ok lang ba sa mga Honda City CVT na 15W40 Synthetic/Fully synthetic ang gamitin kahit kung nakasulat sa manual ay 10w30?

    usually mga ilan minutes inaabot mo sa CVT bago bumaba ang idle RPM?

    Fully synthetic na 15w40? Parang di totoo.

    Just stick with 0w20 or 5w30 or 5w40 fully synthetic or 10w30 mineral oil for your Honda. Kaya nga sinulat sa manual yan para sundin.

    That CVT is probably the most durable one hehe. Saw a cutaway of that in an advert once.

    Not long, maybe over 1 minute lang. 2 minutes max. Kita mo naman kung bumaba na yung RPM. Gas engines tumataas talaga RPM pag cold start para mabilis mag warm up.

    Different for diesel kasi napakalean ng fuel mixture at idle/no load.

    Not all CVTs can handle big amounts of torque (350Nm) at low rpms but Subaru is the only one to offer it for the FXT, WRX, Outback, and Ascent.

    Pakiclarify yung sa diesel engine, you mean hindi na kailangan yung mataas na RPM at the start?

Engine oil concerns. Do I need to change my oil immediately?
