Guess I'm switching to Royal Purple. That was pretty dramatic.

I concur. When I bought my car that was what the previous owner had used, but I switched to mobile one because I can get it from costco right up the street from me for cheap... hmmm

I have heard not so good things about royal purple on Honda cars. The mail thing was it was too aggressive for the rocker arm bearings and wear them out.

Anyone ever have a sway bar end link come loose? I broke one of the rears so I replaced both with some Napa ones that use 2 nuts to hold it to the sway bar, so they're not the OEM ones. She felt much better; more neutral. I tightened it back up and it's back to over steering. Really makes me want to get my Eibach sways on.

Based on all the test studies I have seen amsoil is the best oil in the world!!! but a lil pricey

I glanced down and noticed that one of my lug nuts was gone

2 more were very loose and the other 2 were still tight. I know with a 100% certainty that I torqued them down and double checked; I ALWAYS do. All the others were still torqued down. The only thing I can think of is that someone tried to steal them.
