I have a 1998 accord coupe v6 with 49,300 miles on it. I do about 90% highway mileage and no racing. Should I use regular oil or synthetic?
Thanks

 

dino oil would be fine in your situation, but if you it makes you feel better buy a syn blend or mix your own.

or you could also switch to full syn and extend your drain intervals.

 

use regular oil. castrol or valvoline are excellent brands.

 

I was told valvoline durablend is very good for it's price
2.79 for a bottle, semi-syn.

I just changed my oil yesterday, seeing if it will improve my mileage or not.

I am skeptical about full syn. oil and semi-syn., i'll try full syn. next time and see how it goes.

and yes, castrol or valvoline are excellent excellent brands.

 

are you still using 5w30? maybe is time to switch to thicker oil

the only problem with blends is that it's generally about 20% syn and 80% dino oil so your not really getting your moneys worth. i suggest buying dino and syn and mixing it so you can have closer to a 50/50 mix.

castrol syn is junk, stick with mobil or valvoline.
