Mobil1 was tested against other top synthetics and it got dead last. I use Royal purple xpr 10w40 on my boosted car. And AMS oil 10w30 on my na car. Those were the best oils and they were also recommended to me by professional builder such as Tony Bischoff of BES racing engines.

Just use whatever brand, 5w30 or 10w30. SAE has standardized everything.

It's just a damn commuter car, it's not like you're tracking the thing.

mobil 1,royal purple is all overated and this is a daily non performance vehicle. hondastealer ships use Castrol and works just as good as mobil 1. i use stp oil filters ... i dont really recomend using fram oil filters. Motul is the best oil for honda's

As long as it has SAE SM like most oils do. The other guy is right and its a starburst symbol on the bottle.

Stock d series can almost run any oil. i use to use castrol cuz it tips the walmart shelf at 12 bucks, penzoil luwers me into there clean motor comercial but i say you want the best royal purps will take care of the engine just incase you feel like abusing your motor occasionaly. For budget of the dollar and good oil id go with mobil 5w30 man.

Nice, Hope the tie rods go smooth for you. What Percentage tint did you get? Did you get the fronts done?

Stay away from Fram filters,there the worst filters on the market.
unless you like cardboard and glue in your oil system.
