why does are car consume mobil 1 more then any other synthetic oil? Is mobil 1 really good? I have been using penzoil synthetic oil for 2000 miles now and has not consumed any yet. Whats the deal?

What about Royal Purple? Does anyone use it in their S? It sounds like a great oil from what I have read. Their site has some information on it, of course it's a little biased, but maybe useful to determine what the best oil is for you.

I changed my oil and filter at 500 miles. The best sportscars come from the factory with mobil 1 (Synthetic) as its factory fill. The S2000 is also one of the best sportscars made.
F.Y.I.- I own both the Owners Manual and the Shop Manual. I could not find where Honda states to wait to change(7500 miles) to synthetic oil.

As far as "the best" sportscars coming from the factory with Mobil 1...it's called a CONTRACT.

Am I the only one that thinks there is way too much BS out there (and here) about oil? "Use this, not that...do it at 3000mi, 7500mi...change it on odd days, on a full moon and at 75% RH..." LOL! Too funny.
I use Mobil-1...always have, always will. However, if you use any well-known, commercially available oil, follow your owner's manual maintenance intervals and check your levels periodically...YOU WILL BE OK. Really. ;-)
