what number should i run? Ex: 5w20

 

Since you live in California 10w30 should be fine

 

In the service manual and owner's manual, Honda recommends 5W30 at all temperatures. 10W30 is also acceptable at higher temperatures (above freezing or thereabouts), but 5W30 is still preferred, even at those temps.

You can buy an owner's manual (which I recommend) and a service manual (which is a must if you plan to work on your own car) by clicking here.

nope 5w-30.. i use that..and i'm in cali

 

5W30 is too slippery for the 2001 Integra GSR! I have a 2001 Integra GSR and I used Mobil 1 10W30 and to me it runs smoother too.

 

Slippery is the whole point of oil. You basically just said that it does its job too well.

 

castrol 10w30 i tired syntehtic didnt like it burned to much 10w30 for hotter condition cuz think about it 5w30 plus hot temp equals thinner viscosity trust me when your in a hotter area. i work for acura thats wat we use here in florida on the integra, old RL , old TL and the base model rsx's and also the nsx. ther other cars mainly 5w20 but its up tp you wat you wanna use!

 

i use 20w 50 synpower for boosted apps.

10w 30 should do fine for your car

 

10w30 if you are burning oil
5w30 for us that live in the northern states

 

10W30 in Cali, that's what I use.

 

on Mobil 1. Does not stand up to heat like it should.

As far as weight, 5w-30 is all you need, no matter what state you live in. From Maine to South Beach it is fine.

Amsoil

 

I use Motul 4100.

good oil, i used to use it, untill it just got to expensive, synpower hasnt let me down yet tho

 

Amsoil is the best period. I'm not knocking other brand names but based on the research amsoil is the best oil out there.

Bullsh*t. Mobil 1 is one of the very best 100 percent synthetic oils you can get.

There's absolutely no reason to pay twice as much for a low-volume synthetic brand like Amsoil; most of the extra money you're paying is for their marketing and distribution through a bunch of small independent dealers, whereas Mobil 1 has very low distribution costs by selling high volumes through places like Wal-Mart, Sam's, Costco, etc.

If you want to overpay for your oil, that's fine. But Mobil 1 is excellent quality synthetic oil. (So is Pennzoil Platinum, which is often slightly less expensive than Mobil 1.)

Mobil 1 sells for $21.xx for a five-quart jug, and $26.xx for a case of six quarts, whereas Pennzoil Platinum sells for $18.xx for a five-quart jug, and $3.99 a quart, prices at Wal-Mart stores around the Midwest. That's slightly less than Costco or Sam's Club, both of which sell Mobil 1 for $27.99 for a case of six quarts.

Honda recommends 5W30 as the preferred viscosity for everyone...

mobil has been making some of the best oil for decades. mobil clean 5000 or 7500 in 5w-30 are both excellent choices for your car.

Those are not 100 percent synthetic oils, and you won't get the full advantage of synthetics (resistance to breakdown when hot, better flow when cold). (Mobil Clean 7500 is a synthetic blend, and Mobil Clean 5000 is conventional oil.)

 

i don't like mobil 1 they use cheap synthetic proccess, you are just paying for the name
castrol syntec is much better

 

Hey guys,

Last time I went to the track my 97 GSR burned up about almost a litre of oil. Any reccomendations on what I should do to fix this? I was running Mobil 1 5W-30.

Add a liter of oil to the crankcase.

And make sure you check it regularly when you're at the track.

(That's normal...)

 

And it is the marketing that makes the cost of Amsoil so high. However, it has been around longer than Mobil 1 has been it truly is a better oil.
