i made the switch back to dyno oil after the first synthetic oil change lol. my car has 102km on it. im running 5w-20 but going to put 10w-30 for the summer months and 5w-30 in the winter months. i dont think it matters what oil i use as long as i change it every 5km. so far my car doesnt burn any oil that ive noticed.

okay so I ran a oil pressure test this morning after I got my hands on a mechanical gauge. old oil was 1000+ miles of M1 5W30 and at operating temp was getting 11-13 psi idle. at 3K RPM I was getting 75-78 psi right in the range of honda specs, well a little over. new oil was 5W20 M1, 9-11 psi idle and 68-72 at 3K rpm all at operating temp. so there, someone can make an analysis off of that. paul, care to chime in?

All I know is that I don't even own an Accord anymore and I still switched to 10W30 based on Paul's advice.  Oh yeah, I run it in the Ody's J35 too just to be safe.
