I have a stock B16a gen2 (stated w/ low miles...45k miles or even less)...and I bought Valvoline 10W-30 Full Synthetic for it.



Someone told me to not use it on my motor as Valvoline tends to build scuffs, etc. more than other brands. I don't know which to use anymore. Should I return those Valvolines and get another brand?

Sorry for the newbie question, but I want to protect my car from wears as much as possible as a daily driver.

 

Red Line 5w-30
Mobil One 5w-30

 

Castrol RS 10w60
Mobil1 5w30
Shell 5w30
Redline 5w30

All full sinthetics of course!!! your choice, but when you actually make your choice, stick with it all the way...

Mobil1 5w30 would be my choice...

One more vote for RS10w60 from me..Have used it a couple of years now and no probs
Also Mobil1 5w50 has worked fine for me

has been my choice for about 70K miles with a combination of honda filters and mobile 1 filters

car runs very well for being a 116K mile heap. I'm very happy i've been running mobile 1 for a while and i will continue to do so.

Using the synpower is no biggie, i'd just recommend Mobile1

 

Motul 300V 5W40

 

get mobile one oil and dont forget the b16a2 requires 4 1/2 qts of oil if u put a new filter on...4 w/ out.
