Hello everyone! Long time lurker first time poster. My fiancé is getting a 2023 Honda HR-V with a 2.0L in it and I’m just trying to figure out what I want to run in it long term. I know a lot of people are of the opinion that basically any modern synthetic will do perfectly fine. I don’t disagree with that statement, but I prefer to support the smaller businesses like Amsoil and Schaeffer’s. I’ve used both of these oils in multiple applications for the past ten years and have been pleased. I’ve ran Amsoil more than Schaeffer’s, but as of the last few years I can get the Supreme 9000 for about $2 a quart cheaper than the Signature Series because my dad has a corporate account. I’m plan on doing Oil Analyses to see how they both stack up, but am looking for some opinions on what you all would use in this motor. I’ll be using the Amsoil with their Filter, but I’m unsure on the type of filter to use with Schaeffer’s. Her civic right now with Schaeffer’s in it is using a Purolator Boss. I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews on them with some saying they’re the best out there and a lot of people saying they are garbage. Should I pair the Schaeffer’s with an Amsoil filter when I try that combo out? If this was your car what would you do? I realize all of this is probably overkill but it’s something I enjoy doing. TIA!
