SO i hear, royal purple is a waste unless your built or turbo'd..

lubricates the same, but has a higher breakdown level for heat..

heat that your non turbo-built motor never see's (i think)

 

haha. oh sorry i didn't mention my climate..i'm in miami right now for school. i go to UM. and i rarely drive my S in the winter anyways..but it never really gets that cold in pittsburgh, pa. so 10w-30 works fine for me. and i use to use honda's pcx filter, but it's just easier to get the mobil 1 b/c advance auto is about 2 mins away from me. they're both good filters, so i just use mobil 1. just be sure to get the honda filters made by filtech..not the ones made by fram. fram sucks.

 

EHH. I trust OEM honda w/ my filters... Thats what they come out of the dealership with. So to me thats whats best

 

so you trust their filters but not their oil?

 

Simplified and condensed oil and fluid thread

 

10w-30 mobile 1 synthetic regular with the oem honda filter. 5w is not needed nor is it recommended.

 

[QUOTE=WashabiS2K,Jan 29 2008, 03:30 PM] depends on your climate...

 

The honda PCX filter for the S2000 is a 'High-flow' design, there is a question whether or not some aftermarket filters allow enough flow for operation beyond the VTEC crossover.

 

............royal purple is a great oil,,,,but not for the daily driver as stated above, its a race oil and good for the track but breaks down quickly like after a few track sessions. I started using amsoil 10-40, and i consume less oil now. Mobil 1 10-30 is good as well.

 

How much longer does synthetic last than dino, and does the Maintenance Minder take that into consideration?
