I use conventional oil. Typically Castrol GTX or Valvoline. Just change your oil often. I decided I don't really care or think it's worth it to get synthetic. Especially with most synthetics now only being synthetic blends...

Red Line 5W30.

Better than Mobil 1, but you'll pay more for it.

It's like $7.00 to $8.00 a quart!

Castrol GTX or Mobil 1 5/30 or 10/30. You will burn oil with these syn's, so check you level if your vtec'ing around.
