Ditto on that one. and don't forget the OEM Honda filter

 

i use:

mobil 1 5w30
royal purple 5w30

filters:
mobil 1
fram x2
K&N

honda OEM is good, i believe the s2000 filter fits and is a fine filter.

 

just got done changing my oil like 30 min. ago, I use mobile 1 5w30 synthetic. I just get the 5 gallon one and cut the crap with all the little bottles haha.

I don't think know one really knows which is better it's more of a personal preference. I use to use castrol but when saw how mobils oil looks cleaner and the color well that did it for me, what a whack *** way to make a decision huh lol.

Anyways I think all the top brand gots good stuff anyways. It's all about the advertisement and commercials.

 

Oooh haha since all you guys are suing mobile..i'll go with mobile too Lol . haha thanks guys

 

i use castrol GTX high mileage on my car...just cuz mine is almost hitting 100k, and i wanna be just like those POS cars flying on the roads in the commercial!!

 

haha...........like I said, it's all about the commercials and advertisement.

I dont think anyone has done a real test on these oils.

I almost switched to quaker state cause they sponsered kenny tran lol.

 

i agree with you there, its all about what works for you....different people like diff. oils, and thats why there are so many

 

so most of you guys with swaps are running synthetic?

 

I use Penz 5w-30. And a Honda filter. I use it because it says "oil" in the name. I should switch to high milage though, or buy a new WRX.....

 

sportin' mobil 10w-30 w/ s2000 filter ...don't mean to jack the thread, but how much of a difference is there between 5w-30 and 10w-30? does the 5w give you that much better gas mileage or is just mainly for colder climates?

 

mobile 1 0w40 synthetic.

good write up.

 

Helms says 10w-30 for my climate... that's what I use. But when I just got the car used, I did changes every 750 miles using driveclean, and then switched to fully synthetic. Even in the winter I use 10w-30, just warm up the car for 5-10 minutes. works for me.

 

My old H23: Havoline 10W-30, then Castrol GTX 10W-30

New H23 VTEC: Castrol Syntec, then Castrol Syntec Blend, now about to go back to Havoline dino-oil, b/c it burns too much and it's getting expensive!!!

I work at a oil changing place, and i must agree that mobil 1 synthetic is a great buy. the k&n i havnt heard much of so i have no comment for that.

 

98 prelude: honda mechanic told me to use Honda's 5w-20. thought that was a low weight, but works fine and pressure is good.

 

5w is less viscous than 10w. 10w tends to burn less in hotter climates than 5w does. 5w tends to flow better than 10w also because of the viscosity.

 

use a 10w40, 0w40, or 20w50 during high stress.
