ok thanks, i went out and bought some synthetic blend oil, like honda put in my car, but its not the honda name brand its castrol, is it ok to mix the two different brands, even tho, they are both 10w-30. Thanks, im going to switch to fully synthetic soon
Sorry once again, but i was checking the oil level, i did a cold check, and it was low, and i did a hot check, after the car was fully warmed, and i got a full, so do i still add the oil or am i ok?

you are doing something wrong. while hot, it should only be half a x higher, at most. Make sure you are reading BOTH sides of the dipstick, the lower side is the actual reading. take at LEAST two readings (that agree). The higher reading on a dipstick is oil transfer from the dipstick tube.
