The best synthetic oil

Do you get Silkolene over there? If so, the Silkolene Pro-S is really well suited to the high revving Integra engines. Its a fully Synthetic, ester basted oil. Its not cheap but I dont think you can put a price on protecting your engine.

To go a little deeper in this thread. Would anyone agree that running a very thin synthetic oil such as Mobile 1 5w30 in a high rev honda motor like what most of us have MAY lead to pre-mature bearing wear? The only reason why i'm bringing this up is when i rebuilt my gsr for boost and looked at all the main and rod bearings most were worn through 2 layers. Now i know for a fact that the previous owner beat the shit out of the car before it go to me so i'm sure that didn't help the situation. But the engine had only 90k on it when it was rebuilt. I now run min-oil at 10w30 since the rebuild and no problems to my knowledge yet. Have not checked the new bottom end yet with the switch. Just looking for some opinions/insight on this. I do know for a fact that there really is no difference as far as quality between min-oil (conventional) and syn-oil. Syn-oil more or less stays cleaner for longer.

Synthetic is just a cleaner oil. It doesn't create build-up and whatnot. I'm not much of a fan of the thin oil either. I run 10w-40.

yea IMO i won't go back to the thinner oil anymore. And i read some research study about how min-oil is just as clean as syn-oil. It wasn't always like that but i guess it's gotten better. Idk if that is true or not but that's just what i heard. I change my oil every 2k on the teg with min-oil and it looks very clean every time.
