Synthetic oil is the way to go. In normal mode it takes off from a stop like its in sport mode !! I've had this car since 10/2010 and it really moves now. I'm surprised no one has said anything about synthetic oil treatment.

The car comes with a synthetic blend. Most people get better mileage and engine performance after the factory fill does it thing.

Hey Red, a lot of oil threads here which hit on 0w20 synthetic.

Not sure if I'm going to change over to Mobil 1 0w20 after 20k or not, seeing that the factory oil from Honda is semi-synthetic and their filter is a good one too (saw one cut open at an open house, way better than the Fram one they had cut open to compare it to) Speaking of that, I'd like to see the Honda filter cut open at 10k to see how it really, really looks inside and make the car from there. The Mobil 1 and my recent favorite oil filter, Royal Purple, uses semi or in the case of RP, full sythetic media inside, I like knowing I've got the best of everything to protect the engine
