98 Acura Integra GSR VTEC motor with about 85K now. Just finsihed my ARX treatment.
I really like kicking this car into the VTEC alot. Manual calls for 5w-30. Will 5w-30 Castrol GTX hold up for at least 3000 miles. I do not abuse the car but like to push it to the red line probably more often than your avg driver.
I was thinking about synthetic but at this milage I'm not sure if I want to make the switch. I'm the second owner and bought it at about 60. Car has seen regular 3k changes with various dinos. The ARX has left me with a cam seal leak and I'm thinking it would get worse with syn.
So the question is would GTX be a fine conventional oil for 3000 under these conditions. Any suggestions for a better option? Thanks!
