    Why Do Knowledgeable Folks on Here use 20 wt Oil

    Honda recommends 0W20 - and maybe 5W20 in a pinch or in V6 models. Deviating from that.... is that wise?

    Why Do Knowledgeable Folks on Here use 20 wt Oil

    Apparently, afaik, it's a 'blend' by Warren Oil - although, this is in Canada - in the USA, it's probably the same? Is that considered acceptable here, do you know? :) I guess it's okay with you.... :) I bought Supertech last time - for some reason, iirc, I concluded it was acceptable...

    Why Do Knowledgeable Folks on Here use 20 wt Oil

    Honda recommends 0W20 now? I was looking at Supertech (*Walmart - Warren Oil - is this bad?) and Motomaster. Thoughts? I have to do an oil change soon...like in the next few days.

    Rear rotors and pads?

    I decided to buy the Akebono pads and Powerstop Geomet-coated rotors. I hope I made a good decision...a bit more expensive than I would have liked but I couldn't convince myself to get something else - although, there were some intriguing choices like the Pagid ceramic pads and a local shop...

    Help me pick 1 of these brake pads

    Any idea where these are made? Also, it's confusing but afaik, Pagid has a Silver line that offers both semi-metallic AND ceramic. So, a) I am wondering if they are made in different factors or b) if they are made in different regions/countries. Final question: I am wondering if it's worth...

    Rear rotors and pads?

    I found Pagid Silver ceramic pads but not sure about them - are they made in Germany or India (or China)? I think that makes a difference.... if the latter, they're probably just like any other brand? These ones are cheaper than the Akebono so it's making me wonder.

    Rear rotors and pads?

    Really? :) They're 'Silver' line ceramic - if they're worth trying, I'd save another $25 but that's not a lot extra to pay for really good pads.

    Rear rotors and pads?

    Correct - PA has the NRS pads for $67 plus tax. They are semi-metallic but supposedly quiet for that material? What about the Hella Pagid Silver ceramic pads? Anyone know if they're any good? I thought they were made in Germany? I doubt it at the prices they are at PA - $50. I wonder...

    Rear rotors and pads?

    Never heard of NRS. I also didn't see them on any site so I probably can't get them. I mentioned the Hella Pagid pads I found in a previous post. I read ppl say they are 'mid-grade' and they are ceramic - the ones I found. They're $25 cheaper than the Akebono. The ASP series are $95 so...

    Rear rotors and pads?

    Yes, sir. :) I delayed so long because was looking to buy locally in case an order is screwed up - but, the prices are so high - and the 'box/chain' stores mostly sell 'store brand or Brembo - and some Power Stop - but mostly cross-drilled/slotted which I don't really need or want - I want...

    Rear rotors and pads?

    I know - I will pick soon... :) I want to have it ordered before Monday - so, that it goes out (shipped whenever PA does their first shipment). The EBC - I read they are semi-metallic? Anyway, the price on Amazon went up to $100 so they're out. Are these good?: HELLA PAGID - 355035001 $50...

    Rear rotors and pads?

    Yes, UD537 Ultimax 2, but they're around the same price as the Akebonos and not available at RA - I could order the same rotors and EBC pads (they're red and I think, ceramic? - on Amazon) but, I think the total price would be a bit higher and not discount options. I didn't see any options for...

    Rear rotors and pads?

    Would it include this one?: Element 3 - 980138FZN Element 3 - 980138FZN vs Powerstop JBR964EVC I'm debating between these two - both are under $50 - the Raybestos is a bit cheaper. I understand you bought these some years ago - ppl are saying these have declined in quality. Maybe I should...

    Rear rotors and pads?

    Is there any differences with these? Either pretty much exchangeable or maybe one is better than another - even if just a bit?: POWER STOP JBR964EVC vs RAYBESTOS 980138 Specialty vs Centric 320.40055F (PA lists these as performance grade but RA lists these as only 'daily' driver and only...
