    Honda 5w-20 semi-synthetic

    Napa gold any good?

    Went to napa to pick up an oil filter today, was going to go P1 but they only had Napa products. So I got the "top of the line" napa filter, which is a "gold". From what it says on the box seems like a quality filter. I'm running it with Mobil 1 EP and was going to run a 7-8k oci in my honda...

    nitrogen tire fill plus air?

    OK so I just took my winter tires off and put my stock rims/tires back on. They were filed with nitrogen from when I bought them but were 4-7psi low so I topped them all off at 34 but just with an air compressor. I doubt theres any issues but I assume its okay to mix the two? Just wanted to check

    PU oci recommendation for my 2.4 honda

    I didn't realize that PU could be had so cheap at WM. If I can get it for $28 and quality filter for under 10 bucks thats still significantly less that I was paying for synpower at the local valvoline quick-lube. So a couple quick questions. What would you recommend for an oil filter? I would...

As of now both my parents run synpower and get it changed at the local valvoline...
