dang, 924 posts and it doesnt seem like u kno much. . . .


hondas run on 5w30. 10w30 is thicker and will take a few hp away b'cuz of friction.

i run MOBIL one with a 5w30 weight and its fine.

Will Mr. Poo regret his comment to superDragII, or is it just a clever name? Anyway...

That explains it. I used sythetic for 2 years in my si, and from what I read i might have been wasting money. Make your own decision. After reading, I did not think that saving an extra $60 a year was worth the (possibly false) sense of satisfaction I received from knowing I was using the alleged best.

sorry for my snicker...but it does say what oil to use in your owners manual.

I recommend 5w30 for na
10w30 mobil 1 for turbo.
