What type of oil to use...
I'm having slight lifter problems, and my mechaniac told me it could be the oil i'm using. I'm using mobile 1 5w30 full synthetic. He showed me a TSB (technical service bulletic) that recommended using 5w20 instead, not full synthetic.
My question - Is it ok or even recomeended to use 5W20 instead of 5W30 on a 2000 1.6 EX civic?

I would tend to follow the advice from a Honda issued TSB.
