05 Honda Odyssey and Kreen

I have no idea honestly but i don't like the idea of using anything with seal conditioners in a tight engine.
Good question for the oil forum, you will get lots of opinions.

If i told you what i have tried and used in these Honda engines and what seemed to work best so far it would start a thin/thick oil war.

That's some nice stuff too! I haven't tried it because i am out since i used it in the Kubota but now you mention it...

Mobil 1 5W30 is a very stout oil and does a good job cleaning up an engine...

Got me there. LOL...

Maybe I should have said keeps an engine clean. Not sure if any syn really will quicky clean up a varnished/dirty engine.

Seal conditioners are in almost all oils. Its the HM oils that have additives that cause the seals to stretch. I am OK with a conditioner but not an additive that causes stretching of the seals.

I suppose that's true enough i don't know, but i feel the same way.
I don't want extra conditioners in the form of seal swellers in the oil if the engine is tight.
