honda just uses regular oil in the new car engines.. the thing is, low tension piston rings and finer cylinder honing doesnt cause the metal pull down off the cylinders like it used to.blocks are cleaned better before assembly.by-combustion products dont get into the oil because tolerances are closer,computer controlled fuell supply to engine prevents overfueling and gas getting into the oil...i think belief in oil change time is like religion and you cant really change peoples minds , but one thing i think we all have to agree on is todays new car engines are built tighter,leak less ,last longer,get better mileage and run better for their size than engines of the past.now a car with 100,000 miles is considered to have alot of life left ,remember years ago cars with 100,000 miles were considered worn out...... i do alot of cylinder boring and let me tell you things have changed.piston rings have alot less tension,have alot less friction and require a very fine surface finish compare to just 10 years ago,so less metal is pulled off on initial startup and rings seat in in a few minutes if not instantly.our small trucks on the highway get 12,000 mile oil changes and our short run trucks get 5,000-6,000 mile oil changes and most all of em run past the 200,000 mile mark.. lucass
