Hi guys, I just finished rebuilding my Honda motor and I'm the process of finding a good synthetic motor oil once I break the motor in. Basically, my motor is a high RPM screamer, so I'm looking for a synthetic oil that will do well at high RPM's (9000+RPM) with a lot of spirited driving.
After doing some reading and researching on this board, it seems to me that none of the on-shelf synethic motor oils are any good. I'm located in Canada, so I can't get my hands on oils like Shaefer. which you guys highly recommend.
I know you guys also recommend Valvoline MaxLife, but since my motor is basically brand new, I don't know if that is a good idea, fearing that the oil will toast my new valve seals, o-rings and gaskets.
I remembered someone in here recommending Valvoline SynPower. Are they any good at all, comparing to all the other on-shelf synthetic oils? Oils like Redline or Amsoil cost way too much for me, so there's no way I can afford those. So I'm looking for the best on-shelf synthetic oil at a price of the normal retail price for my high RPM screamer. Also, what range (5W-30, 10W-30, 10W40, 5W-50, etc.) will be good for my motor? Thanks in advnace!
