Synthetic Lubricants in Hondas

All I am looking for are the weight equivalents (other than crankcase oil)

Then you should be calling or writing to Redline, Royal Purple and/or Amsoil
and using whatever they say.

Good luck in your search for "the best".

More than you know. I have the best 6 cylinder motor on the face of the planet.
Sorry for you, it's not a Honda. I bought a Honda for transportation. The M3 is
a real car with a serious motor.

Don't worry. I now have a connection with a Honda factory engineer. His answers
are much more factual and useful than the "Honda knows all" pap I have received
on this newsgroup.

BTW, short of F1 motors, he agrees with me.

Ferrari says otherwise...A road car engine like yours is in no way similar to a
race engine, nor an F1 engine. Keep the bragging reasonable....

 

Sure, so why do you even bother with the great unwashed on Usenet with
your "Honda factory engineer" friend, hmm?

 

an IS would spank ya.

 

Which IS? the one I drove a few times felt mediocre like 325...

 

it depends if you wanna keep your warranty valid or not.

 

You're better off using the Honda transmission and differential fluids.

There's been some discussions about engine oil on the forums at
http://www.hondapilot.org. You might want to check there for some
recommendations. There are several people using Mobil1, RedLine, and
RoyalPurple engine oils in their Pilots. But there aren't many people
straying from the 5W20. Why do you want to do that?
