Im about to get an oil change and was wondering what is the best motor oil?

 

Depends on what you like and what you prefer. Me personally.. i prefer castrol gtx non-synthetic 10w-30.

 

Do a search. This topic has been covered, in detail, on many, many occasions and in all forums.

 

Redline 5w30

HAMP Oil filters

Changed every 3K

Go to Walmart and get the 5qt jugs. That's by far the cheapest way to go for Mobil1.

rOYAL purple

 

torco oil

 

go for motul 5-30, no matter how hot and hard you drive the car the oil when you drain it out still looks good, doesn't seem to break down like mobil 1 or other syn's i've used. and the cool thing is that it is pretty cheap. i get a 5qt jug at my dealership for 25bucks. 3-4 k on a lof and still looks pretty clear.

You are flushing money down the drain if you use high-quality synthetic oil and change it every 3K miles.

if you feel the need to change oil every 3K, then good quality dyno oil (like Castrol GTX or something) or a good syn. blend will be just fine.

And there is no way you are breaking down Mobil 1 at just 3K unless you drive at redline 95% of the time. Tests have been done with Mobil 1 going 20K miles (just changing the filter) and it has come out fine.

Mobil 1 with OEM Blue Honda Oil Filter
