only reason i run synthetic is simply i trust it more on the extended oil change periods i have ... being 300 miles from home makes it hard to change the oil whenever i want, especially since i dont trust quick lubes and i get the stuff dirt cheap so why pay someone else

 

Honda badged Mobil oil.

 

I used M1 from 140k-238k on my old car and burned about a quart every 5k miles compared to a quart every 3k miles on Castrol Syntec. The oil consumption never increased at all and the engine ran perfectly :dunno: worth it to me if I can get 8k miles out of an oil and peace of mind. I know Honda recommends 7500 on dino oil but that makes me queasy h:

 

do you know what specific mobil oil it is?

 

Dino oil.

 

if its a straight up conventional i think it would have to be compared to the mobil clean 5000...the 7500 is a semi-synthetic and the others are synthetic

i could be wrong though

edit: on second thought its prolly straight up mobil clean, but you cant actually buy that retail

 

Clean, Mobil 5000, Mobil 7500, Mobil High Mileage...

 

Uh dude, it's the shit you buy from the dealer.

 

I use Motul or Elf synthetics, but my car demands specific synthetic or catastrophic engine failure will resulth:
