In any of my Camaros I used to use Castrol however in my imports I've used nothing but AMSoil!!!!!!!

I figure if race worthy 9 second Civics can use it with success then its good nuff for me.

Regards,
OK

i use castrol syntec
i did a test once with factory bmw oil and mobil 1 and the factory bimmer oil lasted longer maybe this would be a good test to try for more than one oil. would bimmer oil hurt a honda engine i wouldn't think so

Happy - do you think you can take out Crappy tire and change that to Motul. it's crappy tires, so doesn't matter if it's synthetic or not, it's still crappy. thanks

I use Mobil 1 5w30 with prolong engine treatment on each oil change. Mobil 1 is not just synthetic, its tri-synthetic....its some serious stuff. I also use Mobil 1 10w30 in my tranny. (5 spd) Wouldn't use anything else.

Currently using Castrol GTX with Fram oil filter. Works great for me. Probably gonna stick with Castrol for a while. Used Valvoline, quaker state before. So far, Castrol works and lasts the longest for me which is great. I mean it doesn't turn black so fast.
