    Help choosing oil to keep my Civic Type R running forever

    I'm late to the party. I own a 2018 FK8 - did a couple used oil analysis with AMSOIL Signature Series - got great wear numbers with SS 5w30, but didn't try other brands. Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 would be solid choices as well...

    5w-30 too thick for modern cars?

    I've done used oil analysis on 3 Honda engines, all of which spec 0w20, and consistently gotten lower wear metals with 0w30 and 5w30 compared to 0w20.

    23 Civic 1.5T, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30

    I do mostly highway, and try to drive gently, until oil is hot. I've used OA before, and noted that the fuel dilution was significantly higher than BS. Fuel dilution is, unfortunately, a fact of life with these engines. But with the price point of PUP, I have no issue just changing every 5k.

    23 Civic 1.5T, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30

    FYI: Civic Sport Touring 6M 4/17/25 sample was AMSOIL Signature Series 0w20, oil was changed the same date. Also, a Hondata pump gas tune was flashed to the ECU right before the April oil change, was stock prior to that.

    Replacement for Mavcoat steel shield

    Not really a detailing product, except for an undercarriage, but anyways. I liked this product, but it is no longer available, wondering if there's something similar? I found Kroil weatherpruf, but also hard to find, and almost $40 shipped for a 11 oz can. I really liked Mavcoat because it was...

    Engine storage running leaded gas

    I'm running 50:50 E0 90 oct and 100LL (Avgas) in a SBC, running Amsoil Z-rod 10w30. Should I be concerned about the bromide salts from the Avgas causing corrosion during storage? Will be stored from Nov.-April. I typically fog engines before storage, or run them every 3 weeks at partial throttle...

    Amsoil passenger car & light truck coolant

    Wondering about using this coolant in everything. I've got a 2018 Honda Civic Type R; owners's manual doesn't say much about when to change coolant, but thinking probably not a bad idea soon. Also have a 2016 Subaru Outback, and 2020 Ascent and a 2018 Challenger Hellcat. Amsoil website claims...
