Well, after a few days of driving with the Honda 20W-50 oil I bought
for it, I
have to say I'm very happy with it. It may just be the placebo affect, but it
shifts slicker than I can remember it ever being. First gear is still too loud,
but much less than it was.
If anyone has specific questions about synthetic oils, I have a
surprisingly
unbiased contact at Royal Purple whom I can ask.
