Good synthetic oil?

[Dman1100]

Whats the best synthetic oil that i should use in my d16 with 54,000 miles? What kind of filter should i use? I don't want to start a heated debate about synthetic vs. dino though, i just want an answer so i can change it. and can i get the drain plug seal from any parts store?

redline
synergen

 

[Dman1100]

could i get a price estimate.

 

[highperboi]

dealerships use exxon and castrol and honda filters.

 

[B16]

redline is like $8 - 8.50 a qt i think?
and syergen is about $6 a qt.
redline would be my first choice, but it is the most expensive

 

[Dman1100]

I have never burned oil, until I switched to synthedic, and within 2k miles, I had burned a half quart. Next time, I am going to just run a good Dino oil.


As for whats the best synthedic,

Ams
Redline
Mobil 1 blue cap



As for using honda filters. Bah, hell no, the USDM honda filters are just rebadged fram. Also, I only run Synthedic designed filters for synthedic oils. The media is alot smaller to trap the smaller debris that synthedic oils catch. Without one, your basicly skipping out on 50% of why synthedic is better. When you run a Mobil 1 filter with dyno oil, the media is gets cloged alot faster and kills oil pressure.


Edit* Also, never use synthedic/dino blends. On the label, they do not say what the percentages is so they could be running 99% dino oil and 1% synthedic, but charge you $2-3 more then a good Dino oil.
