oil advice

Hi everyone, im about to change my oil,2001 honda civic,152,000, no leaks, no burning. 20 mile daily commute to work,%70 city driving. Previous owner did quaker state dino 520 every 5,000. I would like a better oil. Is it to many miles for synthetic? Is a high milage oil bad cause I have no leaks? Just confused as what to use? Thanks for any input you may have, you all are so helpful..Thank you

Why bother trying to fix something that isn't broken?

why not just stick with what is working?

i have been using quaker state since the day i bought my 05 brand new, my engine doesnt burn a drop and doesnt leak a drop, sounds like the previous owner treated the car very well,

I would like a better oil
why are you trying to fix what is not broken? stick with the same oil, its doing just fine, you are just wasting your money with something else, your chances of an oil related failure in these engines is zero,

Just confused as what to use?
use the same thing the previous owner was using, if its not broken, dont fix it, frequency is more important then quality....expensive oils are a waste of money
