I know this has been discussed to death. But like any dead horse it needs to be beaten now and again.

So, take the poll and tell us what oil you are going to run this summer.

Maybe we could put together a GB on the most popular oil and store it at my place.

I voted Redline 10w30 but might try the M1R 10w30 once it becomes available in Canada.

Castrol GTX 10w30 here too.

Been trying to decide whether to go synthetic soon or not - leaning towards not (I change the oil every 5K).

10W-30 with a splash of 5W-30, mineral base not synthetic.
The splash of 5W-30 comes in when I fill up the oil filter before I screw it on after an oil change.
Someday I may change to synthetic but everything I read indicates it smooths out the VTEC transition and I like it non smooth...
