Super price for a great oil. Thanks for the link. I just bought 24quartz for my CU2 euro....will be asking the service centre to change my oil at the 1000km checkup.

1000km maybe a bit too early for full synth, don't ya think?
Not much really. Would have thought a thicker oil would have been better, especially one the engine has been designed with, would be better for the engine to run in with. Especially since the engine has only done 1000km and has barely run in. There was a better reason which I was told a while ago, can't remember though, just recall switching to Full Synthetic after 20k km.
Been wondering when to switch to synthetic for new cars so I've done some research on this topic... According to some sources ( http://www.mobiloil.com/usa-english/...ics/myths.aspx) new engines dont require the same degree of 'break-in' as those in the past. The honda RDX actually has synthetic as FF as well, as with my previous car, the IS250.

The K24 wasn't "designed" with Honda FEO, the USDM Acura's run a synthetic 0w-20 from factory.
The only reason was that synthetic oil, due to its better protection properties may extend the 'break-in" period of the car,
Considering how little breakin cars require these days I doubt it'd matter that much.
Thanks man for the heads up on this ! Just ordered now. Was tempted to order 24 q but i dont do that many kays lol.
Seems like there are lot of knowledgeable dudes here.. any suggestion on what to get for auto tranny oil at a decent price? Will be replacing that as well coming up next service.

Bobistheoilguy.com seems to believe Amsoil Multi vehicle ATF or redline d4 ATF are superior to Honda OEM.
Else you could ask if the local dealer stocks the 'new' (over 1yo now). ATF-dw1.
