Folks,
Greetings from Canada
I bought this 2003 Accord 4 cyl in 2012 with 93000 km.
The car was in very good condition . . I liked it and after buying this in 2012 , I changed the oil and filter right away. I was not knowing much about oils but had heard that mobil 1 is one of the good synthetics so I went with it. It is often available on discount here in Canada. I also use Mobil 1 EP oil filter.
I change oil every 6 months as I do not complete the recommended 8000 kms in 6 months.
Car consumes some oil , around 1 liter between oil changes
My drive to office ( monday to Friday) is only 6 km one way. But I drive 40-50 km on weekends even in winters and in summer months I take it to long drives 200 km + on the weekends.
I want to take opinions about - is it the best oil filter combo I can use for my car?
lately I have been reading about oils group 3 , group 4 etc .
I also heard that mobil1 EP oil is better but it is never on sale and I have to pay full price always . But if it can do anything better for my car I can afford the extra 20-30 bucks twice a year .No big deal. Even if I use Mobil 1 EP , I would be changing it every 6 months as I do not believe in running the oil for 1 year.
On filter side , I am using Mobll1 EP but lately I heard that Fram Ultra is better and uses full synthetic media Is this true?
