I like Honda Oil

 

what type of water is best for my cat?
deer park, dasani, aquafina, evian, or perrier?


did you really just ask that thinking someone could give you a simple definate answer? or that one even existed?

it's oil man, if you're not racing your car on a daily basis then don't worry about it.

If you can't sleep at night because you don't know what oil to use then try doing some research and send off for an oil analysis.

Here try this thread, they've done a few for you....

It's just that your question doesn't make any sense....

None of those oils were designed specifically for honda....not to mention specifically YOUR honda.

But even the answer to which you should use is so complex that there's not a good place to begin.

So like Pirate said.....educate yourself so you can make the decision about which is best for you. (or you can do like i said, it's just oil for a DD, and put something in there and be happy)

 

depends on how much you want to spend....


i use cheap conventional ****!

 

Agreed^^^^^ If ur car is a daily driver and or a weekend warrior with basic bolt ons and or stock.....just buy whatever oil makes u happy.But I just cruise down to wall mart when I have to buy dog fod and get a 5 qt jug of mobil clean 5k....mobil's conventional oil,its like 7.50$ plus tax....or if u want mobil1....its like 22$ for the 5qt.

 

1. Royal Purple
2. Castrol Syntec
3. Mobile 1

amsoil signature series 0w30 FTW!

 

MOBIL 1!!!!! FOREVER! lol

 

i use synthetic coconut oil

 

Nobody likes substantiating their Brand Name X claim of an oil being "best?" How old are you people? Are you all a product of our great "no child left behind" educational policy?

W00t Bandwagon stuff! $10 a quart premium for my POS Daily Driver!!

 

my POS DD see's a lot of redline.

 

Yeah okay. Good for you. My lawn mower sees a lot of redline too. I'm not Using Motul or Torco in it though.

W00t Mobile1 FTWOMFGWTFBBQ!

 

valvoline durablend..im pretty sure oil is oil, I'm just brand loyal.. and superstitious..

 

AMSoil 5w30

 

Bobistheoilguy.com really is the best forum to get oil brand information, they'll tell you which brands have better analysis results etc. but in my opinion Royal purple is the best of those 3 choices. My favorite oil overall is Amsoil. Depends on what viscosity and weather conditions you are in. For instance up north cold weather would be better for 0W30 oil but only if its a reliable brand like Amsoil or one of the M1 product lines. If your in high heat you may want a 5W30 which gives you more companies that are reliable since 5W30 is easier to make reliable. So in that case Shell or Castrol Syntec might be worth trying. If you have a high mileage engine and it's also internally dirty, you would want a brand with not so much detergents because it will most likely clog the filter and pick up screen, so you'd want to slowly clean it out with more frequent changes..... lots of choices.

Hey guys, i am using that full sports car synthetic oil from mobil 1. 5w50. Opinions? it looks a little greenish in color.

 

My vote goes to Royal Purple. I don't see why you guys are such *** hats, just don't post at all.

 

Mobil one sports car 5w50? Never heard of it, but sounds way too thick for small engines with tight clearances/small oil passages. Also, being a base of 5 weight, it's gotta have a ton of additives to make the 50wt at operating temp. Supposedly you should avoid oils that have such a wide spread like that- according to bobistheoilguy gurus.

I'm pretty sure that at operating temps that 50wt is robbing some hp and gas mileage.

The color of the oil is 100% controlled by the sales team. When the oil is done being made it's clear, then they add the coloring based on what they think a potential buyer considers attractive or looks like it will last etc. Most of the time they go for a solid gold look, but more companies are leaning towards less color and more clear.

 

No matter what oil you decide to go with, clean oil is of the greatest importance. I'd just stick with what is in your price range, whether it be Royal Purple, Mobile 1, Castrol, or Amsoil. As long as you keep up with the changes your car will always be happy. But I definitely recommend using a full synthetic if you plan on being extremely hard on your motor.

 

Royal Purple FTW!

 

I am a fan of, and use Valvoline high mileage; it has shown good VOA and UOAs at bobistheoilguy. For fully synthetics, I like the Castrol Syntec and Mobil 1 product lines; although I've heard rumors Mobil 1 is not a pure synthetic (I make no claims about this, but wanted to pass on information I've heard).
