Okay, I took may car to Honda this morning and had the oil changed. I asked the guy about what kind of oil they use, and he said Mobil. I asked about synthetic oil, and he said they don't recommend them. He said they have them for one or two cars that are supposed to use them (he thought the S2000). But he said for most cars, it's just a waste of money. I notice on the invoice they used 5W20 oil.

One thing they did though was to let air out of my tires. I had them at 38psi cold pressure. Now I have to ecoinflate them back 38psi (AAA says hyperinflating your tires is bad, so I ecoinflate them).
