I guess the next question is what oil and oil filter should i use? This is probably one of those questions where it is just up to me and as long as i meet the manual standards. Any suggestion would help.
On the S2K I had a stock of PCX filters that I haven't run out of yet so I'm still using the PCX filter on it.. the Integra gets the K&N filter.

IMO always use an OEM Honda filter. I personally looked at an NSX motor that blew up because the cheap store bought filter came apart and clogged all the oil galleys.
Can't go wrong with certain OEM parts, espically if they say Honda on them.

it was pretty strange actually, but it ruined this guys trip. oil was everywhere, and then we checked the dipstick and there was still oil in the pan. After a teardown, Billman determined that it was a hydroloc.
