Default Does anyone use Synthetic engine oil in your car????

If you use synthetic in your vehicle, then what brand do you use?
Stock oil filter? or something else?
The oil has to be 5w 30 right?

Yes, I used Mobil 1 in my LX with the stock oil filter. It's 5w-20 for the DX/LX/EX, and 5w-30 for the Si.

Wha??? I need one of those! haha

So far I"ve had nothing but trouble getting the filter off both times I've changed my oil. I'm approaching 6000 miles, and I'm thinking I need either a relocator, or a filter that I can actually wrench off!
