The SLX is the oil already being used for my VW TDI so I thought maybe I'd try it in the Honda. The SLX passes VW's strict 505 and 507 standards, where Mobil 1 does not.
SLX vs. M1
12.1 10.6 viscosity at 100c
73.0 59.8 viscosity at 40c
- 45 - 40 Pour point
0.85 0.85 density at 25c
0.15 ---- calcium
0.08 ---- phosphorus
0.08 ---- zinc
