Engine oil

I just changed mine to Mobil 1 5w30 but I'm going to run 5w40 once I find one.

My specs are different than stock. My motor is considered looser and I'm running a turbo so I think for my specs and from what everyone's saying 5w40 is my best option.

I don't have an oil cooler either so if I drive hard and my temps rise then I need an oil that's going to protect my engine better.
 
Interesting that people in the States have difficulties in finding 5W/40 oil. It's vice versa in Europe, it's hard to find 5 or 10W/30 (with the right specs!) as we have mainly 0 or 5W/40 over here. :)

I agree with the tolerances after 100k miles or so. As Honda says it frees up more ponnies over time forget about the supertight tolerances in the engine.
