Which Mobil1 for late model Hondas
I have a 2003 CRV and a 2004 Accord V6. Both recommend 5W-20 oil.
Mobil one comes in 0W-20 and 5W-30. I'm in Florida so cold weather perfromance is not an issue. SOme people tell me that Honda specs 5W-20 so their mileage results will be higher. So which one? Anyone have any experience with Mobil1 in late model Hondas?

Oliver, I'd research this at Bobistheoilguy. http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php Many users have obtained excellent results (confirmed by used oil analysis) with 5w20 oils and with Mobil1 0w20 in Hondas. I do not think it is necessary to deviate from the owners manual. It may void your warranty.

Re: Which Mobil1 for late model Hondas
Mobil recommends using their 0W-20. Not wanting to risk voiding my
warranty, and since Mobil 1 doesn't come in the required 5W-20 weight, I use Pennzoil full synthetic 5W-20 in my 2003 Accord V-6. (I use Mobil 1 in my other car that requires 5W-30.)

Re: Which Mobil1 for late model Hondas
Mobile 1 actually says right on the label for the 0W-20 that it is
recommended for Ford and Honda. I have used it in both my 2004 Accord V6 and my 2004 Civic EX with no problems from day 1.

Re: Which Mobil1 for late model Hondas
My dealer here in Oklahoma City just put Quaker St. in my '04 Ody. Not by
my choice. Scott "Oliver Costich" <olc-caNOSPAM@cox.net> wrote in message news:g29sk0l9fq3hgp75pbsqbnl1dg856vn1ss@4ax.com... > I have a 2003 CRV and a 2004 Accord V6.

Re: Which Mobil1 for late model Hondas
Try the Royal Purple synthetic oil. It comes in a 5-20 and from what I have
seen, is better than the Mobil 1. "Oliver Costich" <olc-caNOSPAM@cox.net> wrote in message news:g29sk0l9fq3hgp75pbsqbnl1dg856vn1ss@4ax.com... > I have a 2003 CRV and a 2004 Accord V6.
