Euro 10k service oil change

I got my 10K service done today at John Blair Honda (Melb).
Was going to buy & give them FEO but they said they could do this (use FEO) instead of their usual (Castrol Magnatec).
Engine seems quite and slightly free (but could also be the placebo effect)...

It's a pity nobody's done a 1000 car trial with the different type of oils yet. It would be interesting to compare in a controlled environment the performance/lifespan of the different oils and when exactly is the best time to change to a fully synth.

Tossing up Honda FEO or Motul 4100 for the 1000km and 5000km change. Haven't decided when to go fully synth yet but I have my eye on the Motul 300V or the 8100 at the moment!

I've used fully synthetic ever since my 1000k service.......don't think its really that bad for the car. I've almost done 40k km with no probs (touch wood!) ;)

I use Castrol Formula R 0-40w @ 10k service. Works well for winter and summer! I Like too keep the engine using the same weight oil everytime. I don't think it's a good idea to change weights often.
