Full Synthetic jn new Honda???
My mechanic swears by full synthetic. In a new civic would it be best to use it from first oil change for life for better engine protection and wear? The dealer seems to reccomend a blend every 5K miles. I dont want to wait 3 hours at dealer for an oil change, and Im sure they wont put full synthetic in. I am thinking of just running full synthetic every 5K instead of the dealers synthetic blend.

definitely not an "Engine Performance Modification" question... Moving to proper section of the forums...

Full synthetic is always best especially for modern engines.

Honda branded synthetic blend is very good oil though.
