Hello all.
I recently purchased an S2000 and was wondering what, if any, kind of oil would be best suited for such a high reving engine in the Houston area. I've read about people mixing 10W-30 with 15W-50 or something to that effect. Honda suggests in the owner's manual sticking with 10W-30 but I thought I might ask you'll for your opinion in the matter. The owner's manual also suggests waiting until 7,500-10,000 miles before switching over to synthetics due to the FRM(Fiber Reinforced Material?) used in the block. Supposedly it takes longer for this material to "break-in". Do you'll agree with this or would switching to synthetics sooner not present a problem?
Also, out of Mobil 1, AMSOIL, and Redline which is considered the better quality synthetic? Which one has the better UOA's? I know this will have to do with the specific engine running the oil but I figured there might be some other Honda owners here with some feedback based on experience.
Thanks for your time.
