Mobile 1 5-30, I think one of these threads needs to be a sticky somewhere, they are all over the place.

wow so many opinions. if you have a stock motor DD just stick with a good 5-30 or 10-30 conventional oil like castrol. if you want the best use mobile full synthetic or royal purple

I have always used Mobil 1 5w-30 in my honda's with a mobil filter! The filter is like one of the more expensive ones but honestly, test's have proven them to be more effective when trapping all the crap that might swirl around in your engine and I love it. Now if the car has alot more miles, I'll usually use 10w-40 because of the seals. Never have been much of synthetic kind of guy!

why not pennzoil?
its a personal preference...one of my many jobs was working at a used car lot for a year...the engine builder there would take apart engines and show me the gunk inside and say "thats what happens when you use penzoil"...i dont know if he just personally didnt like penzoil or what...
