i actually didn't know that champion labs made purolator (are you sure?) but they do make the mobil 1. i'm pretty sure they still make supertech.

i can't say for sure that they're identical (i think i read somewhere that it actually has a matching serial number to the STP filter, also made by champion), but i figure it's at least good enough for the integra.

I have never heard of 120w30 in the auto world. I'm pretty sure you made that shit up.

it's the viscosity of the oil when cold, and when at temp.

for example, for 10w30, when the oil is cold, is has the viscosity of a 10 weight oil. when at temp. it won't go above the viscosity of a 30 weight oil.
