HAHA, don't listen to this guy, Royal Purple is overrated and so are OEM honda filters


valvoline full synthetic is a great oil, or if you are really worried about your motor and if it's a race car the valveoline race oil is great! it has zinc in it to help coat cam journals, bearings etc.. but you'll need to let the oil warm up before driving around.. i'm using it now on my daily and i let my coolant reach about 130* F before i drive it around

k&n is a great oil filter brand, Tony Palo mentioned he uses this on his 8 second drag car, it also boosts oil pressure up a few psi compared to a oem honda filter..

but i usually run WIX or HAMP filters, all of these are great and many will vouch for them!
