700 miles.

Likely to use Lubrication Engineers 8130 or Amsoil/RedLine 10w30.

What about them? They are very good, but you can make your own cheaper by mixing in a quart or two of the same company's synoil as your mineral oil. There is no standard for how much syn needs to be in a synblend.

The LE 8130 is a 10w30 synblend, and I am analyzing it now as my reference engine oil.

the search function is workin good today.


FYI at the moment, road rage uses/recommends Havoline GF4 conventional oil. It actually is on par or even better than many synthetic oils when it comes to protection level. (granted it's drain interval will not be as high as a good synthetic)

I've also used Castrol Synthetic, and it's fine. All of the Honda dealers I've personally been to offer Castrol Synthetic, and a few offer Redline (at a cost of per bottle).
and Redline for tranny and diff.
