I think this gives us a reason to swap in a newer engine. That's what we should see this as.

I'm using Motul oil. Never had a problem so far.
I wouldn't bother with additives.

zince is only needed if you have a new rebuild or say a all race motor...lets say you have 10,000 or even that.then you dont need it anymore..you can which to a syntech oils. as far as MY motor i been running mobil 1 for the longest time. never had a problem. Dont need to get all stressted over a small thing. can be ways around it quick status.
so only if you have a new cam or new valve train assembly then YES zince is need to break it in. BUT if your a20 or engine already with the stock valve train then you can use the oil you where using and youll be fine.
I know when i get my motor build im going to run nothing but vavloline racing oil that has lots of zine to break in my build. then switch over back to mobil 1
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
They didn't have any base Fits; there were 6 or so, all loaded with AT's. The sticker said 33-38, but nothing with a regular gas engine got over 33mpg. The V6 Accord was at 28-32. The selection was small, but I still felt a twinge of regret there wasn't a single manual to be had, not even the Civic Si coupe.
Even though it's used, it's still a Honda.
If it ain't broke... I fix it!
I've been using Rotella-T synthetic 5W-40. I have seen a definite decrease in oil consumption past the valve stems and guides with it so that's an added plus.
[QUOTE=guyhatesmycar;974145]Rotella T 5w40 is a synthetic oil with the same application of the conventional Rotella -diesel and gasoline engines. API CI-4 plus for diesels and SL for gasoline engines.
Because it is full synthetic is more expensive than the conventional one. Quart per quart is probably as expensive as Mobil 1.
As for quality, besides its normal application -diesel engines- those oils are being used in motorbikes.
From the discussions in bike forums it seems that it performs as good bike-only oils.
