Default Your Oil...

When it comes to cars I'm a noob. I know how to change my oil and I put a muffler on myself. I was wondering what kind of oil you guys use in your Hondas. I just recently switched to synthetic (Quakerstake, 10w 30 I believe).

Its a stock econo-car, run what the manual recommends. Synthetics are fine.

There is 100% NO benefit to running Royal Purple on your car. Don't listen to the dreamers

ah the blessed oil arguments...

Mobil 1
K&N filters...

if I was broke I would compromise and you traditional oil on an older engine... but would only use K&N filters.

in all reality, just change the oil on time....
