I also own a 2004 Acura TSX. I changed the factory fill oil just after 2,000 miles with Mobil 1 5w30 SS. Every oil change since then has been at 5,000 miles (always Mobil 1 5w30 SS). The engine does not burn any oil and it runs bitchin. The Acura has 22,000 miles now. Last week we averaged 36...

What are the common failures for the Acura 5 speed autos? I have a 2004 TSX.

Should I be concerned with the 15w40 Rotella for engine break in or normal driving afterwards? Summer is here in Missouri. Most days are from 70-92 F. and getting hotter. I have never run a 15w40. It seems some people think the oil is too thick for a new motor. Is there any science behind that?

I copied my post and moved it to the additives section. Please delete my previous post.

I did a search on EOS being added to engine oil. I found people mentioning adding a few ounces to a whole bottle. Has anyone added EOS and had good results? I will be breaking in my new Ford 300 with Rotella 15w40 or SuperTec 5w30 and was planning on adding the whole bottle of EOS for cam break...

I am having trouble finding Chevron 300 10w30 and Cenex Superlube TMS 10w30. Are they renamed or marketed as something different now? Does anyone know where I can find them?

I have been told to to run higher levels of zinc and phos. because of the flat tappet design. I'm also adding a higher lift cam and stronger valve springs. Shell Rotella T 5w40 seems too thick for a nice tight engine, but it does have good stuff in it for the price. What other specific oils...

I guess I will stop listening to crazy people. 10w30 is the origianl weight Ford recommended for this engine. My temperature range can be from 5 degrees F to 110 F. Should I change to a 5w30 weight since that is the newer technology? I am amfraid I will hurt my new motor. What do you guys...

I own a 1987 Ford F-150 with a 300/4.9L straight six. An employee at Clifford Performance (they specialize in high performance six cylinders) told me that synthetic oil should never be used in my engine. He said the camshaft is lubricated and cooled down from oil, oil that is splashed up from...
