^I haven't started using it YET, but everybody in my family uses it (and our shop happens to sell it) and I've never heard a complaint.

Royal Purple

Royal Purple: A bit expensive, but really good stuff.

Mobil 1 Synthetic: Good stuff, I usually use this.

Honda Genuine: Good stuff, for those who trust that Honda got it right the first time.

It's good, but "best" is a stretch.

Any decent 5W-30 will work just fine. You don't need to spend 8 dollars a quart on some exotic oil for your engine to last an extremely long time.

I wasn't referring specifically to Royal Purple. I was simply reinforcing the fact that you don't need to spend huge amounts of money on "the best" oil there is.

Sure. As I said, any decent conventional or synthetic 5W-30 will be perfectly fine.

I use Mobil1 10w30 and haven't had a problem with it.

I've never had a problem with mobile1 fully synthetic - use it for everything, even put the 15w50 in my manual transmissions.
