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)

I heard the exact oposite thing. I have heard that Royal Purple is best on N/A motors and Bad for a Turbo set up. Had something to do with oil breakdown or heat or some sort of things. I actually saw a thread around this forum talking about it.

Humpy will work, but the blue is the best obviously. I've topped up with baby beluga in a pinch, but that works better in turbos.
I've had clouding problems from olive oil. I think its oxidizing, and its burn point is pretty low. See if you can find group IV first press.

cheap honda oil. they're the best.
they're actually made by mobile 1 unless the dealer uses kendall or something cheap.
I'm sort of happy that I could use conventional oil now. I'm tire of using mobile 1 synthetic. it's so expensive. I've been using that forever and I use to put so much miles on my car on weekends, I use to change it out every 2 weeks or so on my Evo.

yeah it is getting pretty expensive now. but damn dude how many miles would you put on your evo to change it every 2 weeks? where'd you go? haha.
