I was a fan of the Supertech Full Syn oil with everything that I researched before trying it in the 96 Civic. I will say that I'm not that impressed at all. It sheared down to a 5w20 in only 6 months and this with nothing but 90% highway driving! Plus I didn't like seeing a rise in wear numbers for Lead. Not a trend I'd like to see. Even Blackstone believed it was a 5w20 to start with (it wasn't), ouch!
Now I'm onto searching for another oil that doesn't shear like water in 2200 miles/6 months! It's not like the Civic is rough on oil, just the opposite. Also, the oils in the chart are Magnatec (newer formula), then the 2 with Titanium were the older Magnatec, before that was Toyota branded oil (not sure if it's syn, don't think so).
Anyone have any recommendations for an oil that doesn't shear down like this?
