First off let me say its taken me years to actually stop reading and finally start posting. You guys are awesome ! Thank you for so much info for us uninformed.
I would love some help in deciding which oil to use in my Acura. A bit of info :
Miles : 93000 Approx
Current Fill : Castrol Syntec w/ Titanium + K/N Oil Filter
Consumption : 0
Miles on the oil : ~ 2900
EDIT : Motor calls for 5W20 but Acura has back specd it to 0w20 as well.
My current position is in customer service at a shop which uses Valvoline oil. I get a pretty decent deal on oil changes and maintenance which definitely helps in this economy. I have a few options to choose from when it comes to oil and this is where I need your input. I drive mostly city with occasional ~ 50 mile trips on the weekend. My work is about 5 miles from my house and usually I make about 2 trips back and forth in a day. Every couple of months we take it on a long road trip. I plan on changing oil every 5000 ( I know conservative but I need to find a stable oil choice before I get UOAs done to narrow the interval down) and use Purolator P1 oil Filter .
Car is in good shape , all Prevent. Maint. has been caught up on. Transmission was replaced about 3000 miles ago under warranty from Acura.
I am attaching a spec sheet of the oils I can chose from. Any input is most welcome and appreciated. And reasons for your suggestions ( if you have time to give them ) will definitely help educate me better.
Thanks once again and Cheers !
