I recently baught a 1999 Honda Prelude it has a DOH-VTec 2.2 L H22 block with 99,000 miles. The person I got it from kept up oil changes with 10w-30 and within the last 5years 5w-30 High milage Penzoil. The Vtec selinoid has an oil leak and so does the valve cover gasket. Doesn't seem like penzoil HM isn't serving its purpouse. Anyways, I want to use Mobile1 synthetic. My car takes 5w-30. I bought the 0w-20, due to what I read in BITOG " Oil University" write up. But then, I saw a comment on a post (on a completly different site that I noticed many do not seem to know what they are talking about) that 20 grade isn't good for DOH-Vtec so that got me wondering if I should exchange the 20... I live in central Florida so the Temp here never goes below 30.
With all this insight..which mobile 1 would you guys advise for sludge clean up, if any, and how much does oil actually effect Vtec??? Sorry this is so long but detail usually helps someone help someone.. Thanks in advance.
