I just use OEM Honda oil, 0w-30.
Y'all might call me a heretic for running Valvoline restore and protect 5w30 in my 4.0T.
Any oil that meets API SP and is the right viscosity grade more than likely is at least as good as the oils specified by the OEMs.
I don't know what it's doing inside my engine but I just did my 2nd oil change with R&P and noticed my dipstick looks new now. No signs of any varnish, just shiny clean metal.
Yes I have used this in my 2011 insight, it's a good product but I found it very expensive without any stand out benefits .
Extra info, I have seen some stuff about valvoline. Engine looks pretty clean inside after they ran valvoline restore and protect.
Change your oil to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30! Change every 3000 miles, filter too!!!!!
I drove a 2008 Honda Civic for 5 years with only oil changes and no issues, then I moved to a 2013 Honda Civic for 7 years with only oil changes and no issues. Since then I've been in my model 3 with no oil changes and no issues. So not a really big difference for me.
Valvoline is the best and bang for the buck for me.
Generally agree with everyone here that it doesn't matter that much.. except for the relatively new Valvoline restore and protect. Seems like it actually does gradually clean out your engine and it's not just marketing bs
Before I boosted mine, I would do 5K all the time. Now it's close to 4k, anything over that and feels like shit driving it.
