But it won't harm nothing unlike your other oil

I only run high quality oil in all of my vehicles. If you think I should be running another oil or a different weight/viscosity please let me know. and let me know why as well.

thank you,
chris

I have never used Amsoil, I always used Castrol edge on my S, and I used it on my VR4 without issues.

Grats!

I use Amsoil in my S2k as well but its so hard to track Amsoil down here in Australia.

Just for my diff at the moment (75-110 though, as the 110 spec more closely matches the old 90 spec that honda specified) but i'll be picking up some of the same stuff for my engine and tranny next change.

Congrats on the new car! I would go nuts not driving it till all that was done. haha.

I have nothing against Amsoil but it's unnecessary. Mobile One Synthetic may be base III petroleum oils but it resists break down similar to synthetics and you will never use the long life of Amsoil because your filter will get dirty long before the Amsoil is starting to break down. So unless you plan to drive 5,000 miles, replace the oil filter and run the same oil another 5,000 miles it's pointless to run a true full synthetic at the price you are paying.

I buy 5 quarts of Mobile One 10W30 at Walmart for $20.99
