Default Honda OIL or Castrol ???

here is the thing to discuss about. i been using Catrol GTX 5w-20 and i was getting 360 miles out of 10.5 gallons in the city driving and i used to hear little engine noise and now i got the oil change at the Honda dealer and they said they used the honda oil, and i am getting 310 miles out of 10.5 gallos and engine seems to be running little quieter. how does this sound to you ? i would rather get more milage than this ? what would you suggest ?

I say for your next oil change, go back to what you were doing before your honda oil change and see if that makes any difference.

All OE Honda 5W20 motor oil is is Mobil oil in a different bottle. Hell it even says "manufactured by Mobil to Honda specifications" on the Honda 5W20 bottle.
