cool man. That is what i want to do first thing once i get the car out. Not sure what brand i want to use yet though. I ran Royal Purple in my civic si when i had it and the car seemed to run really nice ... not sure if it was any better than other brands though since thats all i used cause i got a deal on it.

Now, what about the other top synoils? Well, they were not tested here, but certainly the industry giants were. Based on tests I have run or seen from sources I trust in the industry, Red Line, NEO, Motul, and others would likely score in the top quartile of these tests. The tests anmd UOA's I have seen for Royal Purple have never shown it to be other than mid-tier, competitive with the synoil or GIII mineral oils from the major companies.

Yeah to each their own. I was simply trying to offer you a perspective from our local respected tribologist. 
I currently have OEM honda oil in my car.
But my case of valvoline synpower is waiting to go when i find someplace to change my own oil.

my apartment has a heated underground garage (which is where i park the car and bike). however, we are not allowed to do maintenance on our cars. i got yelled at once for it already, and they have a big sign up.
