well i personally am a mix of old school and new school when it comes to oil. some people wont use synthetic cause they believe its smoke and mirrors and others switch to it as soon as they get thier car. personally i waited a couple thousand miles before switching to synthetic because from all the data i have seen fossil oils are slightly better for aid in break in process. then went over to mobil one 5w30. alot of the other synthetics arent true synthetics at all but a blend of regular and synthetic so do be carfull upon a selection. in my civic i ran 110,000 extremely stressfull miles on mobil 1 5w30 and sold the car to my mom for a beater and it still runs almost as good as day one. although i am an oil fanatic and changed my synthetic at fossil oil hard driving intervals. you really cant go wrong with any true synthetic and you will always get the "red line" is better, "castrol" is better "mobil 1" is better people so pick which one you feel metally comforts you the best and use it.... although i would tell you to get mobil 1.
