5w-20

- 87 regular
- Driving habits: city driving, 'normal' most of the time, unless I'm in a bad mood, in a rush, or just feel like givner (on avg, I usually get about ~575 KM's per tank)
- AEM CAI
- 5w20 oil was last used on the last oil change
2002 civic LX auto.
I have 66K miles , consistently get 34-35 mpg, rarely bring rpms above 4000. I plan on getting 200k miles out of her. All stock, except I had a K&n installed for awhile. I have only had the oil changed once somewhere other than my garage. No problems with this car except broken driver window and coin holder. Next maintenance item will be brakes but they are still at 1/4 inch.I use 5w20. castrol and nippon oil filters.
Oh yeah 800 miles on a tank you must have an Insight or something even the hybrid would barely get that...sighs.
I didn't see the format for this, sorry, here is a recap:
What type of car: 2004 HCH MT 58k miles
What type of gasoline: 87
How do you drive it: Fast, but accelaration is geared for high mileage -- 120 miles per day round trip commute 75% hway 25% country roads
Mods: Spectre air, CC filters -- 44 psi on tires
Motor Oil: Mobil 1 0w20 with treatment
make sure your tires are near 30psi check them at least one amonth...this will help imo the most...if you check them once a week i can almost guarantee you will never get blow out a tire because you will notice the slow leaks before they turn into catastrophic failure..ie blown tire...
(on avg, I usually get about ~575 KM's per tank)
