Hydroclear...it's made by Conoco. I took it into Reagan Honda in Jefferson City for my first oil change, and this is what they put in. Has anyone heard of this brand? I thought that honda used castrol or something like that. is this 'hydroclear' any good? Besides synthetics, oil is oil...right?

I know Conoco makes heavy equipment oils and lubricants. I don't know how their car engine oil is but as long as you're using the recommended weight 5W20, and API service rating you'll be fine.

HYDROCLEAR® Super All Season oils will dramatically improve the efficiency of your car.
You spend money on oil for one simple reason: to keep your car operating at full efficiency. But most traditional solvent refined oils just don't deliver optimum performance - because they oxidize faster. And synthetics may be too expensive to make sense for you. Now you can choose the best option: Conoco's new Super All Season Motor Oils. These lubricants are formulated from hydrocracked base stock, bringing you the protection, performance and long life you need if you're going to get the most from your car. We're so sure, we even guarantee it.
