The lowest I feel comfortable using is Castrol GTX. If I could afford it, I would use Amsoil or Mobil1.

 

well i get mobil 1 5-30 for free at work. so i should get some mobil 1 10-30 oil?

 

when 10w30 heats up its just the same as 5w-30 from what i'm told but i aint sure i thought about switching down to a 5 weight but i dunno if thats ok that i do that, i might do that the next oil change i do, just switch down from 10w to 5w...anyone have any experince with that.?

5w-30 is the correct wieght/thickness for your car. Get Mobil-1 full synthetic if you can.

Yes.

 

kool thx u sir.

 

i'm running mobil1 5w30 in mine, 5w30 is recommended by honda from what I've read, but lots of other people use 10w30 (as you can see from the replies in this thread )

 

Amsoil i love that stuff

 

I use Mobil 1, and Honda S2000 oil filter.

 

I'm curious to hear the explanations behind the intense anti-Pennzoil sentiment that seems to have turned up in this thread. I assume that with such strong statements, there surely must be some significant UOA results backing them...

 

Redline and S2k filter for me

 

definitely mobil 1 full synthetic 5w 30

I work at a oil change shop, and i see how pretty much every oil handles a certain amount of mileage. If you go 3k on any oil, you will be fine. BUT, if you go about 500 over the 3k mark, pennzoil turns into sludge/varnish **** the fastest. Most oils wont "gel..or sludge" up as bad as pennzoil from what i have seen. It also feels different than every other oil that i have encountered. When you get it on ur fingers, you can tell it isnt a slippery as other oils. It feels kind of gritty imo, but i may be wrong. Since i can afford mobil 1 full syn, thats what i use. I personally would stay as far away from pennzoil as possible. Its all personal preference.

 

I agree with the geling/sludging of Penzoil. They say it's a good quality oil but it's not. Stick with either Mobil1 or Castrol. Have you seen what Penzoil will do to you head? It tarnishes the **** out of it! Spend the extra couple of bucks, it won't hurt...

 

use what it says on oil cap. but it can be changed due to the weather.

i use castrol gtx. never gave me a single problem.

however, since your teg is not new, with high mileage, i wouldnt use it. it might causes oil leak, burn oil faster.
