Titan all the way. With your extra power I'd consider the 10-50 tho that's what I'm running

In the UK, oil labelled 'full synthetic' isn't necessarily so - it could be refined dinosaur juice (mineral oil). If it's ester synthetic then it IS pure synthetic and will have lower friction and last longer than so-called 'full synthetic'. Redline is the best of the best in my view, a full ester synth with a great detergent package too. Compared to standard full synth my 2.2 VTEC runs faster, quieter, smoother, cooler.

The only problem with red line, is that it comes in stupid size bottles, and you have to buy several to do a change, plus some for top up .

@A1ex

Of course, but Redline has a better detergent package (in my experience). It cleans and de-carbonises your engine internals better. Use it for over 24,000 miles and it starts to look squeaky clean in there!
