Re: What is your engine oil?
I usually use Purolator filters, but if they are not on the self I sometimes grab a Fram extra guard, or whatever there better quality one is called.

Supertech is the Wal-mart brand right? I think I will stick with my Purolators if I can.

Re: What is your engine oil?
I use 5w-30 Mobil 1 Full Synthetic with SuperTech oil Filter. I follow the MM and sometimes go over, knowing that i've gone over 10K on oil change before I had the ridge using Mobil 1 full Synthetic. Prior to owning my Ridge, I've owned a 2001 MBenz E320 with its 10K interval oil change using Mobil 1 Full Synthetic from brand new till i traded in for my RL. Never had a problem.
Trust you RL's MM and follow it like others have said, and you shouldn't have any problem and document all your oil changes done on your own or outside of honda.

Re: What is your engine oil?
Running Honda branded (Mobil1, apparently) synthetic in my 08' RTX. Haven't noticed any real diff so far, but it's all about doing whatever I can to make sure it lasts...
