Sorry for the length. Please read through. I need help.
My wife's car is a 2010 Honda Civic LX with a 1.8L engine. We bought it brand new with about 50 miles on it, and it is our daily and most driven car. In the 4-5 years we've had the car, we've put around 76,000 miles on it. While on warranty, I always took it for maintenance and what not. But since then, I've been doing the work on the car since I work at a dealership and can do the maintenance for much cheaper. The car has always had the synthetic blend oil that is recommended by the manufacturer, but lately, since the car's miles are getting up there, I've been humoring the idea of starting to use Full Synthetic oil. My dad is an Amsoil Salesman and can get me a great deal on their 100% Full Synthetic oil that is rated for 25,000 miles in between oil changes. I have done my research on Amsoil and other full synthetic brands, and with the great reviews, and cheaper way to get Amsoil, I have really been trying to convince my wife that switching would be a good idea since it would help clean out the engine, along with keeping it clean and running strong for as long as it can. Which being a Honda, can be what seems like forever.
If anyone has any experience with using any Full Synthetic or knows anyone who uses, used, Full Synthetic oils in your's or their Hondas, please fill me in on how the car ran after using the oil. My wife is a very detail and proof oriented person, and I have reached my limits on what I know and could find on these oils.
Please help me out!!
