Ultra!

Who makes this oil....I know someone here will have a good idea as to who makes this stuff....picked up 5 qts tday for .99/qt

In spite of the fact that there are thousands of posts on this forum....the answer is that it probably does not matter with todays engines....a lot of the advice here is overkill!

Definitely NOT Mobil Super....Probably PYB or bang for the buck Super 76

I will follow Honda's recommendation and will skip filter with this first change...If I have time I will cut the filter after second change and post it.... MDX uses same filter as my TL so I have an extra filter for the TL! The car is a 3 year lease and if there is a problem they own the car!

Again, On my TL which I OWN i have been doing filter changes with every oil change... The MDX is a 3 year lease so Honda owns it...I am going to follow the OLM and do every other filter changes ...should be about 15K per filter...I figure they know better...

Thanks for all the info...I own the TL so it will continue to get oil filters with each OCI..its due for Ultra next... The MDX is a lease so Honda owns it..i will follow their recommendations since its "their" vehicle.. I remember the 15K OCI with Mobil 1 on my old(2003 Boxter S) with the...

I know honda recommends changing the oil filter with every OTHER oil change...How do you guys feel about it? On my TL I change the filter with each oil change.....now the MDX is a lease so i may try the every other thing... That would be 14K miles on the filter!!

Ultra...."Factory Clean"

PP or PU have nice stoudt additive packages....better then M1 IMHO

My comments were directed at steveh who stated that M1 was group 4 early in the thread....no reason to get upset my man.. you can believe what ever you want...but there is a lot of knowledge on this forum...take advantage of it...
