Honda sells Motor Oil in individual quarts thru their Consumer Chemicals Line, and you often see them in displays. These are manufactured and packaged for Honda Motors. I've yet to determine the Packager.

The dealer bulk oil is another issue. It could be anything from Castrol, to Pennzoil and anything in between, as long as it meets Honda's API service classification of SH.

Well that's two people who say Mobil/Exxon (another forum). I know they used to sell Castrol at the dealer, years ago. For the motor cycles and the cars, but that proves nothing.

Huey Honda in St Louis MO still uses Castrol GTX oil. It was great going to them becuase they had a 100K plus club and you got 10% off of any repairs/service they did to your car. The kicker was they were already very competitive to begin with in the first place...

I don't want to know what is your favorite. I want to know what is best (without breaking the bank for an oil change) I use Castrol GTX now, but I'm thinking about a switch. Synthetic maybe.

What about Castrol Syntec? It's the one that has Honda on the label. I was all set to get the Mobil 1. Then I see Honda on the Syntec label, and not on the Mobil 1 label. Still haven't made up my mind.
