"synthetic oil" for example. bottom line - just use a good quality branded oil. some are worth avoiding, [like motorcraft which plays heck with seals on older vehicles] but otherwise, save your money and enjoy honda reliability using standard motor oil like you buy in woolmort. further reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_oil |

I was replying to the Subject line, not the body of the message, which was very different from the Subject line! I second what jim beam said! DON'T put ANY additives in your oil. Additives are a dumb idea. Use any name-brand motor oil and a Honda filter. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
