Hello all! I'm new to the forum and am interested in learning more about what oil I should use in my vehicle. I took a look at the list of helpful information so I'll try to fill in as much as I can here.
-I have a 2003 Honda Accord Coupe w/ 4 cyl 2.4l engine
-I live in the Tampa area of Florida
-Most of the time I'm not too hard on the car since I plan on having it for a while, but occasionally I do like to give it a good run with quick accelerating and driving it hard.
-I work and go to school fairly close to home so a majority of my trips are short. Once in a while I do take it on long trips
-The only real issue I know about right now with my car is some issue with the clutch. A friend told me the master and/or slave cylinder may need some work.
As far as synthetic vs conventional, I myself don't have a preference, even though I've heard on many occasions to go synthetic. My mechanic swears up and down by full synthetic and tells me I should go full synthetic in my vehicle.
On my last oil change I put a synthetic blend, but I don't recall the brand.
Its almost time for another oil change and I have come to the boards of BITOG to find out what would be the best oil to put in my vehicle. I don't mind ordering or going to a store to buy my oil and I will change it as often as it needs. My main concern is to keep my car running well for as long as I possibly can since I will be doing a good bit of custom work on it.
