    2014 Civic 5MT / Honda MTF / 24651 mi

    Looks great to me. I have 27K miles on Honda MTL in a 5 speed mated to a 2.4L. Shifts fine and I am not rough on the transmission. Think I will change it out on the next oil change. Considering using Pennzoil Synchromesh, I have on hand. Thanks for the post.

    Rotella Gas Truck - How Synthetic Is It?

    ...and here is Shells marketing of their 5W20 RGT. I bought 50 quarts of 5W20 RGT when Walmart had it on sale for $5.25/5 quarts. I am going to run it in a 2.4L Honda. Won't run it past a 5K OCI. I remember when I bought it the analysis looked almost identical to 5W20 QSUD which I had run...

    Alternative to Gearwrench 81012P 1/4" Ratchet

    Maybe try cleaning all the metal wear in remnants and re-lube after the wrench is broken in after a few weeks. I picked this up from this tool reviewer. @9:30

    SHELL Rotella Gas Truck is to stay ...

    5 quart SN+ 5W20 RGT @ $5.24 on clearance at Walmart. I have two vehicle that can use it. I got 13 jugs. I won't push the OCI and will change it out at 5K miles. It certainly looks like QSUD which I have used without any problems. Not sure how much benefit I would get by opting for the new SP...

    2000 Honda Civic 1.6L under valve cover pics

    Nothing wrong about 5-6K mile conventional OCI in a Honda from my experience..

    2007 Honda 2.4L 300K miles total miles; 200K 5w20 SuperTech

    Here is a similar teardown of a Ford with only 130K miles using Mobil 1. The Honda had 320K miles using dino and ST. Both look good to me! Inexpensive synthetic and 5-7.5K miles works IMHO.
