ok got my valve chtter under control, got valve adjustment done, need to do oil change again. im going to use a mobil 1 filter
and my options for oil are following
car is a 2000 civic ex with 60k miles.
1.mobil 1 clean 5000 (dino oil)
2. valvoline durablend syn blend
3.mobil 1 syn
4.royal purple syn
5. other....?

i want the car to run as clean and strong as it can, im very **** about keeping up my cars. i do alot of highway driving and some town
i live in north east pa.
what do u think my best option is? i wanna protect it from cold starts as well.

 

I like mobile one. but its not the bigget deal IMO.

 

Oil is oil, pretty much. Go synthetic if you want. Mobil 1 is good, Royal Purple is really expensive.

 

best oil is royal purple but is $$$

 

is it ok to switch to synthetic at 60k? i mean car is clean no leaks, no issues. i just want to treat the car well. i want it to last and be dependable

 

I use Royal Purple in my race car and usually either Pennzoil or Castrol in my DD(they are cheaper and do just fine). You should be fine to switch to synthetic. I'm not sure if they are any cheaper but they have synthetic blends, it's not a fully synthetic oil. If you have any doubts, then that would probably be your best bet.

 

yea i thought about the valvoline durablend syn blend or the castrol syn blend i want the motor to run efficently and quietly

Royal Purple is over-rated
