Oil is the life blood of your engine.

I use Amsoil synthetic 5W-30 & Amsoil oil filter first choice. Mobil 1 100 percent synthetic second choice with Honda OEM oil filter.

Changing engine oil & filters is cheap compared to a engine rebuild or purchasing a new engine because of accelerated wear from lack of good oil lubrication.

I won't go back to anything else. A friend and I searched out what would be the best synthetic oil on the market awhile ago. Amsoil & Mobil 1 came out on top.

If budget restraints prevents you from buying Amsoil. Go with Mobil 1 which can be picked up at Wal Mart or Costco. Use a OEM Honda oil filter it is well designed.

If you are interested in obtaining Amsoil products, PM me I'll give you the Amsoil Dealer' name and number, this is where I get my stuff from.

I also get my AMSOIL from MICE's dealer. I got 10w-30, why I got that oil is because I always get 10w-30 and never did research. If I did it again I would follow Mice's lead since he's done this a lot longer then I have.

Thanks MICE for the AMSOIL hookup and then showing me easy it is to change oil and the diff.

Amsoil is great stuff. My father-in-law is a chemist and did some comparisons on his own, since he only trusts data he comes up with, and told me to go with Amsoil. He also highly recommends Chevron's Techron Fuel Injector Cleaner additive every few tanks to keep the fuel system clean. You can get them cheap in boxes of four at Costco, if your a Costco member. Just my 2 cents.
