Car Forum / Acura Cars / August 2006Honda Brand Synth Oil
I was the Acura dealership today, and he showed me a quart of Honda Full Synthetic motor oil. Has anybody ever heard of this? And who makes it?  Signature"What, me worry?" - Alfred E.

In the US Exxon/Mobil had and may still have the contract for making the regular Honda branded oil, so perhaps they are supplying the synthetic as well. I wouldn't pay any extra for it!

Actually, the dealership is only charging $10.50CAD a quart, which is a regular price around here for synth. Signature"What, me worry?" - Alfred E.

IIRC,Mobil One synthetic is only ~$4 USD/qt. at Wal-Mart,Orlando,Fl. Hey,take a trip to DisneyWorld/Universal/SeaWorld,and stock up on your oil while you're here!

Be happy you weren't here for Hurricane Charlie!(Aug.13,2004) 8-) I endured THREE hurricanes that season,within 6 weeks. It still beats shovelling snow,scraping the car off 4-5 times a day,road salt,etc. I'm from Buffalo.Spent my first 30 yrs in snow country. The thing that pisses me off is the sun kills the finish on these clearcoated cars.And the trim.(no garage) SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net >>> I was the Acura dealership today, and he showed me a quart of Honda >>> Full Synthetic motor oil.

I recently paid $8.18/US qt Cdn for Mobil-1 5W-30 at a hardware store. The fancy-dancy super-premium Mobil-1 0W-40 is about $9 per qt Cdn at NAPA. By the way, I discovered that old cars with very high mileage don't like 0-weight very much, even if the other end says "40". Stuff's like water when hot. :( SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ >>>> I was the Acura dealership today, and he showed me a quart of Honda >>>> Full Synthetic motor oil.
