Wow....this oil stuff is like a never ending rabbit hole. The more I read, the less I truly know. So based on the Rat 504 Oil test I was convinced that Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0w20 was the way to go. I was also relieved to learn that 0w20 oils did not necessarily equate to less...

Thanks for the info. Still leaning toward a moly heavy oil since Honda coated the piston skirts in moly. Toyota appears to be high moly, but there's a difference between SN and SM and there's the whole light weight factor.

OP here. So I'm still mulling which oil to use. First, does anyone know if the 2015 V6 Coupes "feature" VCM? I was all settled on using TGMO, but then I read reports of it being a super light weight oil. Is that a concern for these Honda engines? Also, is SM with its higher Moly content...

Hi all! Background: 2015 Honda Accord Coupe V6 (7 months old) 5,300 miles (original oil) Manual says change oil when reminder gets to 15% Reminder currently reads 50% Manual says 0-20 weight (need to check certifications) Live in Central Maryland (winters occasionally get down to single...

Pennzoil platinum synthetic 10w30 (at least in the fall) it is!

Wow, thanks so much for all the replies! I mow around 25-30 hours a year, so it' sounds like the mower (and blower) engine should theoretically last 30-40 years without synthetic...guess I should just stick with dino oil unless someone argues otherwise. Not sure if I can give up 2 changes a...

First post. Be gentle please. I have a 2013 Toro TimeMaster personal pace mower. Until now, my practice with my other mowers has been to change the oil TWICE a year. End of cutting season (plus pour 1 ounce into the spark plug hole) and again at beginning of season. Rational being I don't...
