Default Which engile oil for the S?

Which brand oil/weight/filter do you guys use?

I recently bought my S and I haven't got an oil change yet, seemed like it was burning some oil so I just put in some Mobil 1 5w-30..

Use any good 10W-30 oil, dino or synthetic. Most people around here probably use synthetic and probably Mobil-1. I use Castrol Syntec.

For the filter I suggest you use the Honda PCX filter [P/N: 15400-PCX-004].

Castrol Syntec 10w-30, Honda filter.

Mobil 1 burns about 2qts per 3000 miles in my car. Castrol hasn't burnt yet in 2000+ miles.

I use a 10w30 synthetic.

Right now I have royal purple, but im going to switch back to Mobil 1 again.

Castrol GTX or Valvoline 10w-30 w/Purolator Microfilter I've never burnt more than 0.5 qts per 3000 miles.

Change it often and I believe name brand oil is oil. How much can it break down in less than 3000 miles?
