    I also use American oil and get Mobil 1 EP 5w-30 for $70 for 6 quarts. But if you buy the cheaper oil from the same importers your looking around $25 for 6 quarts.

    Also google castrol edge fake synthetic

    I used usdm Mobil 1 EP 5w-30 from GLLuricants..... It's a group 3 mix base oil just like the Castrol edge sport

    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.

    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.
