New 3.5 SOHC VTEC V6, [email protected],250ft-lb [email protected], Auto, 4.2 quart sump. Oil weight must be above grade, synthetic not a problem as per owners manual but must not exceed the recomended miles/time. Garaged, will be driven about 6 miles each way to work weekday - suburb driving.Some highway miles on weekends.
First Oil/Filter change due at 7.5k(or 6 months whichever comes first - have to recheck manual.) but stealer wants it done at half that mileage(or time) for free!
Plan is to have the free service but requesting oil be taken from individual bottle and the extra pint be given to me. Looking for oil for the subsequent changes. Experiences/comments on following oils welcome:
Honda/Mobil oil
Castrol GTX
Motorcraft/Conoco
Pennzoil
Amsoil
TIA
