actually...you can.

Mobil one isn't even a true synthetic. It mediocre at best.

 

I change mine at 3k religiously with a Honda filter and 10w-30 Mobile 1. Never burned at all, I put a little extra(.05qrt) in to compensate for burnt oil and it was still a little over when I check it at 2k.

 

does anyone use mobil 1 10w 20?

 

Mobil 1 oils are pretty thin, making them to burn alot. I used to use mobil 1 5w30 then 10w30 and i gave up and used royal purple. No complaints...

i've never had a problem burning mobil 1. or any oil for that matter.

 

I get castrol 10w30 free and i have not had any troubles at all. feels better than mobil one says teh butt dyno.

 

Royal Purple all day

 

It should say on the oil cap that 10w-30 is recomended. And I would suggest Full synthetic. Some oils are pricey but they are worth the extra money for high revving performance engines do to their stable low and high temeprature viscosity rate, better fuel economy(depends on weight), smooth start at low temprature, improved engine power at high load conditions, and protection.

On the side note, I started using ENEOS 0w-50 Full synthetic, I love it.

Thank you....

i use RP for everything unless its a freshly built motor i use Castrol GTX

 

I have been using Redline 10w30 for 90k miles. I change the filter, a Honda OEM every 3000 and the oil every 12000 as Redline recommends. No issues

 

I've always used Mobil1 10w30 extended performance (their only true synthetic now) but i recently switched to amsoil. More money, but WELL worth it
