Mobil One every 5k since 10k.

even though Honda states it should be changed every 12 months?

I use dino oil because there's no real advantage in synth for me - I put about 12k mi on the car a year and change the oil every six months, so synth is just a more expensive option. If you're wondering, the S2000 does fine on dino oil and several owners have oil analyses that show it. Synth has its advantages, but when all you need is to get in a house, a normal door will do just as well as a french door, so to speak.

I use Mobil-1 for the "maybe" factor. Maybe I'm actually doing something good for my car. Heart of hearts tells me there really is little advantage with daily driven cars except for the extended time between changes. This extended time seems to even out the cost when switching to a full synthetic. As I see it, there is no right or wrong answer or choice when it comes to a personal decision of which to use.

Most of the Honda/Toyota techs and my friends at Pop Science I speak to say an argument can be made for either oil type.
We've been using traditional oil in our classics, muscle cars and daily drivers for many years, with no problems.
But i guess if it helps you sleep better at night to use synth...do it.

Castrol dino oil every six months for me. Too poor to buy synthetic.
