Sorry I can be sarcastic sometimes. :roll:

I am so sorry. I did not know that was a trade name.

After Ichisima told us it was a waste of money, I never listened to anything about it again.

"Syntec" is a Castrol brand name synthetic oil. I'm sorry, I thought everyone knew that, my mistake.

Who is ichisma?

Well.. i'd have to disagree, we use mobil in a couple of race cars. For it to burn in the ITR and nothing else, i'd find hard to believe. We would have noticed engine tempertures rising, or even on the engine management systems we have on the cars. Synthetic is a much more cleaner oil than regular crude/motor oil. The oil that im really impressed with is the Motul. We tear re-build motors all the time, and haven't yet found large portions of carbon build-up on the combustion chambers or exhaust manifolds.

Tatsuru Ichishima is the founder of Spoon Sports. A great friend to ITR owners ever since the car hit the streets.

Mobil One is notorious in track ITR for burning and rapid consumption.

Mobil 1 is known to burn in honda DOHC VTEC motors. It doesn't burn in all of them, but it does in a lot of them..

Well damn from what I've always read everyone always said use Mobil One. Also i know this was said earlier in the post but can you go back to natural after using synthetic or is that debateable. Also other then redline(and similiar others ) whats good b/c I will never use Castrol again.

I didn't know that until reading a recent thread about Oils... Lots of the people who posted said that They Use Mobil One Synthetic and that it burns alot.
I was surprised to hear that

I use Amsoil. Did my research and liked it the best. Cost is about the same as Mobil 1 (Which does burn in DOHC Honda motors). Pain to get it since you have to order it or find a dealer.
