AMSOil is really good from what ive had experience. I used to run it in my GS-t.
Holds up really well under 18-20 lbs of boost. Now, performance on our NA or Turb'd motors, I dont know.

I personally use Mobil1 Pure synthetic 5-30.

7500 miles between oil changes!!! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
And I only use a K&N oil filter.

alright that sounds good! those items are alot eaiser to get than what i listed. i would have to order it online then wait for the stuff to come in.

amsoil 5w20 and hamp oil filter is an excellent combo ... the best, in my opinion.

I'm currently running the hamp filter + amsoil 0w30 on my k20

I use mobile one 5w20 with a mobil one oil filter. But truly you do not see a difference in oil until you get into redline or other oils like that. I know this becasue i work with oil every day. But syenthetic is better then non, thats not what i am saying.

o and just so every one knows if you did not, ams oil is one of the oldest synthetics on the market. Just a little fyi

i use mobil1 10w30 w/ mobil1 filter....am i the only one who uses 10w30? is this wrong?

Re: (FR3SHT0D3F)

I use royal purple and a wix filter i dont worry about the filter as much. i know several people who use osed royal purple in their lawnmowers and what not.

no the munbers do not matter that much. If you ever get a leak you will have less loss with 10w30 then 5w20.

yeah, i looked into it earlier and i'm definitely fine with the 10w30....the 10 compared to the 5 is definitely ok because 5w oil is usually used when the car is going to see sub zero temperatures, which i won't see any time of the year in North Carolina...the summertime heat is also going to offset the thickness of the 30 weight a little...and oil also thins out as it's used...

so all in all. i feel safer with the 10w30
