    I'm not one to talk "junk" on the internet, but your first response
    was absolutely retarded. If you put 15w40 or heavier viscocity oil in
    your honda you will put extremely excessive wear on your crank case,
    and possibly destroy your engine. It will also hurt your gas
    mileage. Plus Deisel oil is made for deisel fuel. Its just not made
    to stand up with all the detergents and additives that are put into
    gasoline. I own two oil change facilities and one all around repair
    shop and it is my life. As far as which oil is best. If you look-up
    any test by the API(american petroleum Instite) it will normally
    conclude that Amsoil Synthetic is the best. In a 2.0 Honda motor with
    less than 100,000 miles it is probably recommended that you use a 5w30
    maybe as heavy as a 10w30. Any name brand oil that is certified by
    the API will work, but synthetics are superior, and AMsoil beats all
    others(including Mobil 1) in most test. With a synthetic, oil
    additives are not necessary. However many have been proven to help
    reduce friction(I sell TX7 at my shop). One of my vehcles is a 95'
    accord(my daily driver) with the H22A vtec. Its had an Intake,
    header, and exhaust. I dog it and have 200,000 on it and it runs
    perfectly. As far as your reving goes. I don't know off hand what
    the redline is for that specific block, but it is no problem to barely
    hit the redline somewhat often in a honda motor. Check on a honda
    message board(such as hondaclub.com) to find out your specific
    redline. The s2000 doesn't even redline till 8500. They make tight
    small motors with a short stroke so it can be reved. You don't wwant
    to go far past your peak horsepower, but the farther you go the father
    you are into your torque band when you shift to the next gear.
    Thankyou for your time.

    I bet if you were to use a real Usenet newsgroup application (instead of
    posting from Google Groups), you wouldn't have problems like this... ;)

    Your post is noted and recorded Thank you for your input

    However I was speaking from personal experience with my `86 Accord
    and I used to use deisel rated oil in my motorcycle as well until
    Mobil 1 came along.(15w50)

    I never had a problem with using deisel oil in my Accord.OR my bike.

    I used a 10 w40 deisel oil in the summer specifiaclly for the hot
    weather high speed driving I was doing

    Of course in the winter I reverted to 5w 30 auto oil ( no synthetic at
    the time .)-30*F at times.

    This combination worked extremely well for me

    By the way , deisel is good enough for deisels its good enough for
    cars , particularly since it has MORE anti-wear additives such as
    phophorous in it

    All I can say at this point in time ? is it WORKED FOR ME ~!

    In my `02 Camry I use Mobil 1 synthetic 5w30.It seems to stand up well
    with practically no oil consumption on long highway trips.

    If synthetic wasnt available ? you can be SURE I would use a good
    quality deisel rated oil again.
