Hi

Any idea how hot the oil is getting?

Cheers

No, sorry. Engine temp stays at normal level on standard temp gauge.

I thought it might be, Hondas often don't get that hot, even when heavily modified. I'd probably use a 10w-40 or the thickest would be a 10w-50 if the oil consumption is excessive.
