Anyone tried this oil? I went to the local dealer for a 10k km service and they had this as one of the options. Apparently it's a fully synthetic oil that's recommended for the S2000 and more powerful Civics and Accords (http://jaytec-lubricants.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7_148&products_id=275). The China version is manufactured locally under license by a Shinihon Sekiyou (Nippon Oil) joint venture.
Thought I'd give it a try and so far, it seems to be quieter than the previous semi-synth stuff they had in the engine. VTEC engagement doesn't sound as raucous as before but power seems unchanged. I haven't run the car much after the service to see any changes in fuel consumption either.
How's this stuff compare against the top Mobil 1, Castrol and Redline stuff?
