I'm not confusing opinions or facts. Facts are that UOA's aren't tainted by political forces. Fact is that Honda shows a whole bunch of copper in the oil during the engine's first 10-20K of life. I don't care what Honda's marketing division says, the UOA's show only an average oil with above average moly.quote:

I have a 3.5L V6 Honda in my car, I'm VERY glad to dump the factory fill early on with a high-moly oil. Using the UOA, we're able to dissect Honda's argument. If you want to keep it in your car, then by all means, do so! I just don't follow in line with what this manufacturer (or any manufacturer) states. In fact, I like running the SuperTech 5w-30 "full" synth in this engine. Castrol Syntec blend is next...
