Mercedes Benz will only put synthetic oil in their vehicles and the MB dealers must use synthetic for customers oil changes.
Also, if anyone uses Mobil 1 synthetic, go to Pep Boys and ask for their MADD calendar. The calendar costs $1.00 and has coupons in it. One of the coupons is for Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oil. BUY 3 quarts and get 3 quarts FREE !!
This is a no brainer. I am from NY and I read it on a thread from someone in Texas. The coupons are good till 12/31/05.
I purchased a few calendars and will start buying my oil soon.
I have been using Mobil 1 since first oil change. I use the 10w30 per the Honda manual.

I used to put Mobile 1 Synthetic 15W-50 with Pure One filter. Now I am using
amsoil 0W-30 with Pure One filter. Its little off a topic but I have heard some user
at Japan use 0W-5 oil called Neo (if I remeber correctly). I can't remeber the
specific price for that oil but it was very very expensive. Its suppose to increase
the response.

Changed my oil at 1,000 miles to a 0-40 synthetic (pentosynth) with a Mugen oil filter (figured I would try it out) and have had no problems (now have 4,500). Any one else dumb enough to spend that kind of money on a filter?

then it is recommended to not run synthetic until about 12,000.
and you my friend, might be the only person on this board running the mugen filter.
