I was thinking about using Mobil 1 new life fully synthetic 0w/40

Would that be any good to use?

Thanks

Mobil 1 0W/40 meets or exceeds the oil requirements spec'd by Honda when the engine was produced.

The service manual (Page 3-2) states under engine lubrication

Use SJ "Energy Conserving" oil

Mobil 1 New Life 0W-40 meets or exceeds the requirements of:
API SN/SM/SL/SJ

I would worry that 0W-40 would be too thin, as it's like water when it's at temp. I maybe worry too much though.

Yeah I would go 10W 40.

Yeah someone told me that 0w/40 might be too thin, so i will go with 10w/40

but do you think its worthwhile going with fully synth, or would part synth be just as ok?

Thanks
