Wayne - no worries on my question - you kind of answered it indirectly, anyway. And IIRC, the only other people who make 0W-20 besides Mobil is...Amsoil. Plus, the kid never saw the label on the bottles, since they were in my passenger floor - he could only see the silver caps on the bottles from outside the car...
Wish I'd known you were off today as well - because I was too (since Rosen's 'loaners' seem to be limited to "repair work only, and then if only it's over $250" (stupidest thing I ever heard - how do you know when you bring it in if it's going to need > $250 worth of work ?). Now I know why I liked to go to Pauly for my service with the '01 coupe )
Oh, well...I had carryover vacation time that I have to get rid of by 3/31, so not a big deal on that.
I pretty much go w/ 7500 mi intervals because that's what Honda specified for the '01 (and the AH) - and that's why I decided to go w/ synoil as well. I figured if they stated 7500mi intervals, that I wasn't going to risk it by using dino oil; plus, if anything ever happened with the engine, I could say that I maintained it to their specs. It also happens to be a nice interval for tire rotation - and like I stated earlier in the thread, I had > 75K on the OEM tires (and with that, I've put us back on-topic, so no apologies needed or given)
Am driving up to Madison for work the next few days, but I am going to send you an email to your ISP addy w/ my contact info. I'd like to see what you can do with the car both 'stock' and after a bit of setup (no, I'm not putting 50# of air in the tires, so don't even suggest it...ROFL)
Talk to you soon,
