Thank you all! I could not have asked for better advice anywhere else.

Hello fellow BITOG members. I haven't been here in awhile. I did a load of research many years ago. I'm back to ask for your advice and actually post since I have acquired a new-to-me car that doesn't have oil leaks and is worthy of quality oil. 1. 2005 Honda CRV AWD EX 2. Owner's manual says...

So I decided to use a 10w40 Mobil1 High Mileage. It's supposed to have some additives to help swell up some of the old seals to help stop or slow some leaks. So far so good, my engine is liking this oil better than the Castrol Syntec 10w40. However, the weight might be too thick. This isn't...

I wanted to bring this topic back from the dead as I'm reaching my OCI of 3000 miles and I'll be switching from the Castrol Syntec 10w40 to a Mobil1. What viscosity should I use for a 120,xxx mile engine? I want to revert to the factory recommended 5w30 but now I'm not so sure since it is...

^What car is that with? 5psi to 20psi hot seems like quite a difference. I'll have to find out what to look for and what the right psi is for my engine... The Grassroots Motorsports article "slippery slope" did a great job of explaining the temperature gauge readings, I wish they explained...

Originally Posted By: hooligan24 are you monitoring oil pressure and oil temperatures before and after a session on the track? How long are the sessions? Right now I don't have any gauges but I'm looking into them. I'll definitely invest in a good Oil Temp gauge because I'd know what to look...

Originally Posted By: Suren I'll see how my car likes the Edge 5w30 next oil change! If it fails, next change will be a M1 then a Valvoline Synpower or Maxlife and then I will start to move into the more expensive bracket if all else fails. Actually, I think I will try working up the latter...

Ok, awesome, I've got lots of different suggestions here so I've have some more research to do. So far, I'm not liking this Castrol Syntec 10w40 that's for sure, vibrations at idle are up, even the idle rpm seems to have jumped up a bit when cold. The car may sometimes sit for serveral days...

Originally Posted By: Johnny Never heard of GC 10W-40, just the 0W-30. Oops! I didn't even notice in the FAQ about GC that it was specified to 0w30 only, silly me. So I'm just using Castrol Syntec 10w40 in that case. Now I'm confused, does the GC FAQ not apply to the other weights...

Hello people of BITOG! I'm new here and have done a little lurking on and off, basically enough to learn about blackstone laboratories and a few oils out there. Anyways, down to business. I drive a 90 Integra which currently has 120,000 miles on it. This car is my track toy so the only miles...
