Vtec feel after an oil change
Just changed my oil yesterday, mobil 1, and took the car out today for the first time. When I shifted into third and let it gone past 6K rpm. No vtec kick whatsoever
NOrmally, I feel a little kick, even though not as noticeable as 2nd or 1st gear, but this time it was just a smooth transition? What went wrong? I didn't touch anything else when changing the oil. I will check the map sensor later just to make sure nothing is amissed.

This is a common trait of synthetic and has been discussed numerous times. I had pretty much the same effect when I switched over to Redline. No need to worry...nothing is amiss.
I think it may actually be a good thing because the ease of transition probably signifies that the synthetic is doing it's job of being slicker.
