not rocket science son. just use any semi syn or syn 10w40, you won't feel a difference. maybe the full syn make car bit faster cos lighter wallet in cabin

Cbauto has been using recycled filters on customer's cars for years, no complaints so far.

The residue degreaser in the filter acts as an engine cleaner.

Saves you money and better for the engine.

Ryco filters aren't that bad.

Don't get me wrong, i loved that oil, but that's down to its addictive package. The base oil for USDM mobil 1 it is still majority hydro-cracked group 3, just like Castrol edge sport. unless you are going to the high temp range like 0w-40 where more group 4 is needed.

I remember reading it somewhere as a mix of mostly group 3 and some group 4

0w-40 is group 4 im pretty certain (gold bottle, expansive as hell)

I'm using the 5w30 Mobil 1 from GL for all my cars.

Thought it was group 4

www.bobistheoilguy.com

Search for Mobil 1, "Base Oil"

since base oil groups are not publicly avail info, sometimes you had to read between the lines of advertising material....

for example:

Mobil 1™ Synthetic ATF combines high-performance synthetic hydrocarbon base oils and a balanced additive system for higher performance than conventional fluids.

.... thats a group 3.

when people ask specifically about the issue they got a politicians answer

I've decided to give Nulon Semi Synthetic 10W30 a try. I really don't think full synthetic is gonna make significant improvement on an Integra GSi. Its pretty much the same spec as Genuine Honda FEO engine oil. Hopefully it won't chew through the oil.
