Hi Kenny:

___The only issue with Mobil1 0W-20 in the hotter Honda’s is with the V-TEC’s. If he is on the VTEC’s cam profiles at all, 5W-30 Mobil1 is the lowest viscosity he should purchase for higher fuel economy. It says the same right on the Mobil1 synthetic bottle. Then again, since it recommends 5W-20, is the 02 EX a VTEC ICE? I will look that up later …

___On another note, I sure would like to run a late model and well broken in Civic EX or the less powerful LX w/ Auto or Stick for a few days myself just to see what they are worth. I know what my Corolla LE w/ Auto is worth and its pretty fantastic but knowing Honda’s magical ICE’s, I bet the LX in particular is really worth 55 + w/ a stick out on the highway when pushing the fuel economy envelope.

___Good Luck
