^^^ That's SuperTech Synthetic in that weight, correct?

At that Oil Change Interval you wouldn't have any problems.

The ST filters are made by Champion Labs...also a good value (I've used them myself)

How about Honda oil and Honda filter? Getting ready to do my first change and have bought Honda brands. I always used Castrol before this car. Seems Mobil is really popular. Did not realize That it was.

honda oil

The oil is 5W 20. Had not really thought about it being rebadged Mobil. It is synthetic and I have never used it before. What do you know about synthetic oil? As long as I have used oil it has always been Castrol for me. Just thought I would get a good start with changing my oil in my "new" Fit.
