No, this isn

 

I've heard that you should aslwaya use the Honda oil for the S@K because it has some sort of specail ingredient that does make it perform better.

Is it safe to replace with synthetic oil? Can someone with knowledge comment please?

Thanks

 

Use the search function. There are several posts on synthetic oil. Honda does recommend not switching until 10,000 miles due to break in.

ok2k. what weight oil are you/were you using?

 

I have used Castrol GTX 10W-30 forever on my cars including the S and never had a single problem.

However, after doing a lot of research (i.e., http://pacific.telebyte.com/allanw/binder/...nfo/oilfaq.html )I thought

 

Floord,

I didn't answer your question.

I went from Castrol GTX 10W-30 to Mobil 1 10W-30.

Thanks for the info guys!

 

For people who live in the cooler climates, use 5w instead of 10w and it should make a little difference. I didn't have that big of an issue, but here in missouri lately it has been pretty cold, and I tried out 5w and noticed a difference. I agree with DouglaS2000 when he says synthetic or not. If you change every 3k you shouldnt worry if it is synthetic or not, but the cold weather recommends a little different weight is all.
