Hi, I am totally new to the whole car waxing thing. When I go to detailing shops I see them mix wax and compaund on a washed car and then they use a machine to wax it. Now, I know you can get those $40 waz "vibrators/waxers/machines" but what do pro wax places use and where can I buy it? I...

I used (And use) GC 0-30 in my Accord and the car runs smoother. I notice no power hit nor the economy hit. Great Oil.

I agree. Dealerships are crap most of the time, however, some are good. I had a good experience with my Honda Service Department. On the issue of oil I do NOT use 20 weights in any of my 2005 Accord and CRV. In the summer I use 10-30/40 Mobil 1 or Castrol (Synthetics) with Mobil 1 Filter. In...

Hi, I am not saying I am right. I am, however, saying that the fact that the rest of the world (yes, the much dislike it appears by some Europeans included with brands such as BMW, Audi and Honda/Toyota Europe) uses thicker oils, that clearances are the same, and common sense (i.e. film...

[/QB] Hi Accord, would you mind sharing your actual wear data proving that 5W-20 is worse? Obviously the many mechanics and family members must have lots of data proving it, right? Or is it just more conjecture based on "gut feeling"? I do 5k OCIs on my CR-V, and it uses zero oil after 31,000...
