Mobil 1 synthetic. I don't know why. Oil is oil, I haven't noticed a difference.

I recommend in Hondas>
Amsoil 0-30w TCO severe service
: less blowby and shear damage than

Mobil 1 5-30w
:burns off FAST and turns black quick

my motor is making alot of power for stock manifolds,
therefore is making more heat and has higher oil
temperatures. I had to drain the Amsoil due to
troubleshooting a knock I had, so I tried the
15-50 mobil because it was the best available at
the time. I am on 5-30 now since my engine has
been cleared to beat up again on the street. I am
going to clean the upper half, drain and refill
with the Amsoil 0-30w ASAP. You will notice a
2-5 whp gain at peak VE when you switch. It
is an excellent sealing and low friction oil
