Re: oil change question (SIvic2000)
As long as it's the right weight oil and a decent filter it really doesn't amount to anything as long as your oil change intervals are right.
Dino or synthetic, whatever floats your boat.
Your engine wont really care.
People have been driving on dino oil for how many years? unless you hardcore track your car i wouldn't pay the extra for synthetic.
There are ump-teen threads about oil changing in hondas. It's an econobox, not a race car.

Re: oil change question (ek forever guy)
I use K&N filters and Castrol GTX partial syn. oil in my civic.. It's a little overkill, but it gives me peace of mind knowing I have only quality oil/parts in my car.

Good way to do it, I usually run fram filters because of the cool grippy stuff on the filter.

Re: oil change question (ek forever guy)
just make sure the old gasket piece doesn't stick when you swap the filters, or the filter won't tighten properly and then BLAM oil is all over the headers and big fire..
FRAM are great when they work but I heard there was a bad batch going around.

Why would you rather use a Mobil 1 filter? They're not magical, and they don't last any longer than any other filter.
Just use an OEM Filter (Toyo Roki) or a Napa Gold filter (WIX).

i get the bosch, they are almost the same quality as Mobil1, with almost half the price. And there is a difference, there was an article somewhere where they opened up the filters to see the differences. Fram was alsmot the worst, that thing had cardboard material in there.

HAMP or OEM filters are what come on Hondas from the factory so thats what I use. They are alot smaller than most filters and hold high psi if needed. Also they keep a good amount of oil in the filter so it circulates quickly after startup.

So yuo're saying you left the old oil filter gasket on and forgot to remove it when you put your new one on?
