I came across a 5qt jug of Wal-Mart synthetic blend 5w30 SJ rated oil. Being the cheap SOB that I am, I am wondering if I could use this oil in my 2006 Civic and change it out at say a 5000 mile OCI rather than the 8000 miles I am accustomed to. Or should I just save it for the lawnmower? Please don't flame me too harshly! Other things I found; two quarts of the original Slick 50 treatment, must be 20 years old! A quart of Rislone oil treatment (yellow bottle) a quart of STP engine treatment (Slick 50 clone) and 2 metal cans of the original STP stuff (thick as honey). I also found an old quart of gas stabilizer-does that stuff go bad too? (probably does-I just hate throwing things away!)

I would use the oil for the summer OCI since your car calls for 5w20. The rest of that stuff I wouldn't use. The Rislone is probably OK but you don't need it in a 2006 model.
That itineration of ST syn was probabbly made by
the Quaker State affiliate in Shrevport and is most likely PAO based.

Does your car require SL rated oil for warranty purposes? If so, don't run the SJ in that car.
Its a Honda Civic, you could use SJ for the next 20 years no problem.
If I were you I would take it back and exchange it for the SM GF4 Supertech.

Before you put that in a new car, let me send you $10 for a jug of 5W-20 Motorcraft.
thanks for the offer Brett. I just did an oil change using the Motorcraft 5-20. I guess I'll have to use the Wally-Lube in my lawnmower and on my Mom's vibrator!
Do you think the Slick 50 will help keep the rust off of my Perazzi?
