Quick question. Does the only injen intake fit the 04 TL 6spd. Every where i looked they only mentioned the auto, but i think it fits both, right? Also, what do u guys think about the Lucas Oil additive. At 3500 miles, my MID said 15% oil life. Did a mobil 1 0w20 oil change w/ mobil 1 (m-104) filter. I put 4 1/4 quarts of 0w20 & 1/4 quart of lucas oil additive. Also used chevron thechron fuel cleaner right before the oil change. At around 15 to 20 thousand miles thinking of changing my MT oil w/ the GM stuff that Mr. Road rage recomended. Sorry for the rambling. OH, bye the way, just changed my wheels w/ 05 silver A-spec on michelin 245/40/18 xgt z4. Great tires soo far, only around 300 miles on them, they feel just like my old HPT tires on the 17"s.

"Mr. Rage" does not recommend 0w20 for the 3G TL. It is a special viscosity recommended by Honda for the Civic Hybrid, the Del Sol VTEC, and the Insight. It may be inferred that it is a fuel economy oil, and not recommended for any current high-performance Honda engine.

Honda's two highest performance vehicles, the S2000 and the NSX, have always spec'd 10w30, and 5w40 is also an acceptable vis for the S2000.

5w20 at least, 5w30 is better for hot weather IMO, and 10w30 may be the best all around for many people, especially in hot climates and extreme duty use (racing, towing, sustained high speed driving such as in Europe).

Yes, RR does recommend the GMSFM for the tranny, based on its chemistry and viscosity, which are acceptably close to Honda's MTF, but in a better base stock. Plus, it flat out performs better, in shift quality and feel.

RR,

South Florida weather probably requires a heavier oil. What 10W30 oil do you think is best for the engine, under heavy traffic applications?
