01 Civic (non-vtec) 5W-20 specified
takes 3.75qts
It currently has valvoline durablend (10% synthetic?) 5W-30 w/a ST filter running 3-5k intervals. (oil is about $10 for 4 quarts)
I was thinking about a home brew of 1 quart M1 full synthetic 5W-30 topped off with 2.75 qts of the cheap 5W-30 M1 drive clean oil (or possibly 5W20 HAVOLINE) (~1.50/qt) it would be approx the same cost. It would run the same 3-5K interval.
Which do you think is a better blend as far as addative package and performance? I think I might be getting a better blend (more synthetic) with the home brew?
