I used to use Magnatec Advanced in my ITR and Evo VI, but they only do the "standard" semi-synthetic now. It will be fine, but I always prefer to not mix the type of oils.

I'm not sure what oil was in there already. The car used to be owned by babyNSX, I purchased from Alan Day Honda...

Well the dealer just put it in mine for the 9000 mile service. I know a few people on here have said that they would not touch it but to be really honest I don't think that it is going to make a lot of difference to me in the long run.

If you are going to keep your car for another 5 years then maybe you should use better stuff - if not then fuc* it- just fill her up

It's what my dealer, Norton Way, put in the car on its first service and I have used it ever since.

Seems OK

I'm a big fan of Mobil Motorsport, keep it's viscosity very well under high temp and it fully synthetic, much better than Mobil 1 IMHO.

I was told by the dealer when I picked it up they use Magnatec until the first service and then change.
