I would stay with 5/30. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Cool she's running really good for what she's been through. No oil burning and compression is good....goes to say a lot about Hondas motors Id say

I have been running 10w-30 rp ever since I obtained the car. I am close to 148k and live in the damn heat of Phoenix and I haven't had no problem. Compression still good and hauls ass still. My 2 cents lol

Everyone can debate oil types but I've heard RP is lighter than they say... That's where the mpg's and hp come from anyone els heard this?

I heard rp burns quick. Wouldn't be my choice for a booster car
