Now I run synthetic and oci's 5-6k. This car is driven hard also. Living in the mountains, sees high rpms in the Twisties, and lots of freeway driving. I usually do 5k miles in 6 or 7 weeks. Now if you run, 30 or 40wt and loose a couple of MPG, so be it, so you go from 30 to 27 or 28,
You remember the oil companies pusehd for 3k oil changes, well now with Cafe, and everyone wants long oci's, well the oil companies have to push synthetics, to make up the loss of dino oil sales. I bet the oil companies have their hands in the pot pushing synthetics too, they want to sell oil. Now with governments push for ice to be gone do you really think the oil companies will allow that to happen? Who's also pushing light weight oil? The tree huggers are, gotta save the planet from destroying itself. I'm sure the tree huggers would prefer we go back to horses. Oh weight, then will have more green house gas from their [censored], oh ice, there's green house gas from the more electricity usage. So oil companies almost be gone, and the power companies get larger. Pick your poison I guess. Sorry for the rant.
You drive that 96 much? Off topic, I think 93 was the best ever made Accord. my parents bought new. Beat the [censored] out of that car. Tranny was never out, original motor, the rear main seal started dripping at 300k, ac blew cold, only thing done under warranty was the wheel seal on the left rear, that car only had required Maintenance done. Never broke down, always started unless the battery suddenly died. Never needed a new alternator,starter, just maintenance,tires and brakes
