well idk if i want to go synthetic yet... that **** is retardedly expensive. it costs almost $20 more to get it changed with synthetic.
^ agreed.
Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.
With 160k on the motor, if you've NEVER run synthetic, there's a few risks involved too. If you have any oil leaks from where the seals are damaged or almost gone, the Synthetic has SO MUCH detergent power that it can tear straight through what's left and leave you with a much more significant oil leak. The best bet for what oil to put in your car is the oil you're using now, and simply change it more often. 2000-2500 miles should keep the oil in the car fresh and clean after the first few changes, as the increased cycle will actually help clean everything out of the engine even better than the engine flush kit stuff does if you give it time.
any 10w30

I use 10w40 in the summer, and 5w30 in the winter
yeah my B seems to be pretty healthy, not a drip of anything leaks, but i'm still scared of synthetic. alright well i will probably go to 10w30 within the next month or so and i guess that'll do.
synth would be fine
i'll go synth probably when i get a few more miles on her.
dude, it was a joke...

jus by the oil from advance or a parts store and DIY
Or bring your own oil to wherever you get it done at and pay the $10 for labor
Use Castrol syntec 10W40, or if you too afraid of the side effects, use just the standard Castrol 10W40 (white bottles w/ the green cap). In my opinion, Castrol oil performs much better than any other brand, and is recommended for Hondas. But if you decide to use Castrol, I'd suggest doing a proper oil flush, and time to start learning to do oil change urself man...
I won't advertise because I'm not paying to
mobil 1 fully synthenic 10w 30 high mileage
If u want to use synthetic you should start blending it into your engine. For instance if ur car takes 3 1/2 quarts use 2 1/2 quarts conventional and 1 quart synthetic and start going up on the amount of synthetic every time you change ur oil.
TOO BIG
