if you put it in your motor you cant go back your motors going to smoke ..and even with syn depending on piston to wall clearences you cars going to burn oil and smoke..it lubricates right past piston rings..its more of a problem on aftermarket internals you might not have as much of a problem with a stock honda build..

no it wont hurt the motor it might just burn a little oil it doesnt hurt the piston rings at all that guys an idiot..it jsut gets past them some times...with your motor i dont think it wil smoke unlkess you go back to reg oil...if its buirning oil you will see blueish white smoke in your exhaust black is fuel white is coolant blue is oil..
