    When I was a Lube Tech for Honda, Honda and our neighboring dealers, Nissan and Toyota, all used Exxon Mobile's motor oil. Unless you bought the "GENUINE" bottles of Honda, Toyota and Nissan fluid from the parts counter. You were getting your car filled with Exxon Mobile Full synthetic and Sythenitc blend fuilds from the barrels that fed our over head pumps. Even with the Genuine engine oils, I had suspicions that the "Genuine" bottles were filled and packaged by Exxon Mobile for Honda. The same might have been true for Nissan and Toyota.


    This is the best damn deal, can't beat this ANYWHERE, I ned to go get me some.

    There is no best oil. They are all great. Here’s the deal, if you want the best oil you need to define what “best” is. What criteria defines best? Let’s see a list of 5 things that for you define best oil. I think there are going to be very few if any that can or will do that. Then tell us what the 5 criteria are and what oil meets those criteria. Then for you personally you’ve found what is best to you.
    So let’s hear your definition of best oil. Best is a vague term without defining it.

    Any API approved oil in your specified weight will work fine. Be harder to fine one that wouldn't be fine.
    I do the oil on five vehicles in our household. I use Castrol or Mobil 1, depending on which one.
