Hi all,

Our honda click is coming up for its first service and wish to change the oil to my prefered Mobil 1. The click spec's a 10W30 to 10W40, so the closest spec mobil 1 available is probably the 5W30, only i can't find it.

I went to a couple of Esso service stations and the had 5W50 in 1L bottles but that is too thick i recon, and 0W40 which i could use but they only had it in 5L bottles, which is way too much for what I need.

does anyone know other places that might have what I'm looking for?

You will use it.

Go with the 5W50.

Has the flow characteristics/viscosity of a 5W dinosaur oil, but protects same as a 50W.

As an update, I ended up bringing 2x1L bottles of 5w30 mobil1 in the suitcase from Australia.

went past the esso on the hangdong-chiangmai road today and they now have 5w30 in 1L bottles.

oh well.

Don't feel bad.

When I first emigrated here 4 years ago, I brought about 2 kilos of personal toiletries in my lugguge.

(In all fairness, last time I lived here was in the 1970's).

Like, duh, there aren't 50 thousand items of deodorant, shampoo, etc. available here....

In general, here is another thumbs-up for that particular gas station on the Hang Dong road, (well) before you get to Tesco. They do a good job on regular maintenance for cars and bikes.
