If its NA save your money and use conventional oil. Synthetic is not necessary for street use.

no it was more like a 3 step vtec. it added like 6 seconds on to my time, and like 80hp more... really, i felt a difference in proformance, not much. the oil didn't break down as easy. but it didn't help the dumbass that i sold it to, that dropped it for 4th to 1st gear doing 80mph down 75....

We use and recommend Castrol GTX. I used it in my personal car. TheRedDragon used it in his personal car. T4EG used it in his personal car. Great oil and not overly expensive
