^^^ 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.

I wouldnt waste money on Honda oil unless you like paying more than you have to for rebadged mobil conventional unless you plan to run 0w-20.

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.
