You know, I learn SO MUCH on this BITOG website. Thanks for the help!

What you are saying is on the 30 end of the 30 to 60 on the MSDS. What percent is a full synthetic in Germany, do you know, because I don't. Thanks for the input, by the way.

Thanks edyvw!

Thanks for your help skyactiv!!

A lot of you here on Bitog know how to read an SDS on oil and differentiate between Group III and PAO base stock, roughly. Attempting to learn information like base stock off an SDS is Gibberish to me. I realize Mobil is God's oil here on Bitog, but would one of you please attempt to read the...

Can someone tell me what the difference is between group 3+ and group just Group 3? The Motul tech guy said their 8100 series is group 3+ base stocks

I think that Balwin filter fits a Honda, right? I know a little bit about Baldwin filters. Their plan is to build their filters to the same efficiency and flow rate as the OEM filter as they are replacing. They are Owned by Parker Hanafin Corporation with their filters being made in Kearny...

Something you should be aware of is I owned a 2015 Honda CRV I purchased brand new. 2015 was the last year of the 2.4L non-turbo engine being put in. After that they started using the same engine you have, the 1.5L turbo engine. I sent in an engine oil sample on one of my 5000-mile oil change...

Thanks Subie, you just taught me something!

You could add HPL (High Performance Lubricants) to your list if you are willing to spend that kind money. All three are really high-end oils compared to the Majors. I personally would move up to a 0w-30 or 5w-30 though, maybe even a Euro oil to get your HTHS >3.5 or higher. That is just my...

You are definitely correct about this. What Is the vehicle and engine and what does the owner's manual recommend for oil with the stock engine, before you modified it?

My local Walmart has none of this in stock, but you can order it online from them and have it delivered to your door. I wonder if Walmart is phasing it out.
