Use M1 Full-Synthetic in all our Hondas, 0W-20 for the Pilot, Odyssey, and eventually my EX when it is due. Use 0W-30 in our oldest Honda.

Since we are on the topic of oils, what filters do y'all usually run?

I prefer Wix or OEM.

Oil filter : Purolator Pure One ; Mobil-1 ​

These came up as some of the top filters in a cut-away exam of most filters at the time, and including bypass ports.​

I'm not knowledgeable or have ever heard of Wix, so I'm not approving or dissing it.​

I would like to mention that Fram is on the bottom of the list...........

Wix is a trusted name they have partnered with Amsoil as well if that says anything.

May as well use notebook paper! Fram are garbage.


I am using the AmSoil Absolute Efficiency Oil Filter.

Where are y'all getting your oil at? Around here, I can get a jug of mob 1 for about 30, the Wix filter is 12. My dealer charges $45. It's almost cheaper for me to take it to Honda to change it.

Mobil 1's not even a True Synthetic, so if that's what you're going for, you're wasting your monies.

Great article, I like #5 about not changing the oil early especially with Hondas during the break-in period.

Fram extended guard does look better than all the other Fram cut aways I have seen before.

Here's a link on Purolator vs's Fram x guard

I had to go to a few dealerships until I found it, I've only had 2 oil changes and had my Si almost 2 years now, only 10K on the odo, my 1st oil change my dealership didn't have it, by the time I had my 2nd change they had it, search all your area Honda dealers if you can until you find it, hope this helps?!

Also depending on the price I might as well go royal purple as amazon has a 5 quart of it for 43 bucks lol

Yeah it's about the same price, if I remember correctly its about 8 bucks a quart so 40 total, you'll have 1/2 a quart left for next time or heaven for bid top offs!?
