Beat oil for d17's

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: Beat oil for d17's
C&P from another post of mine:
IMHO
The oil cap has 5W20 printed on it for a reason.
Look for and use 5w20 oil with specs of:
ILSAC GF-5
ACEA A1/B1
API SN (or higher)
Much of the Mobil-1 5w20 meets these specs, but you gotta read.
Alternative:
Many/most of the new oils bearing the DEXOS-1 logo also meet Hondas specs.
Pick the 5w20.
Read the labels though.
A statement saying it "meets Dexos specs" is not the same as actually meeting the specs.
