your del sol isn't any different than any other honda. and the engine is basically the same as any other economic engine out there. i use mobile 1 synthetic 10w 30 and sometimes 10w40. u could just use a regular honda 10w30 in it. do some searches and you'll find soo much info.

as for the filter....i'd recommend HAMP (Honda AfterMarket Performance) oil filters. there are two sizes, small and large, with the smaller one keeping the pressure about 5 psi higher. these filters aren't that easy to come by, and aren't very cheap, but they are awesome. there are some articles about them on the internet w/ comparisons of HAMP vs regular Honda filters (US, canada, japan) and vs other brands. http://www.prostreetonline.com...eid=2

just buy them in bulk and use at your leisure. inlinefour sells them for 12bucks each but i have paid as low as $7 each shipped (for 10) on another website, can't remember name right now. IPS racing had a h-t special of $6 each for 10or more.

put in 4 quarts then check level. Start, run for 1 min, let sit for 5 min. then check level again. I usually end up with 4.25

Correct!!!!

And use Honda OEM oil filter... I think that is the safest way... and the safest way is the BEST way
