I've used Mobil 1 before and like it. I'll probably stick with it.

I recently asked my dealer service department that question and was told that it does come from the factory with synthetic. They also told me that I must use synthetic or risk voiding the warranty. My dealer will be doing my first change.I'll use Mobil 1 after the first oil change. I'll keep dino in it until 10-15k miles. That said, does the CT come out of the factory with synthetic?

I've never used synthetic before, so I don't have any opinion on which brand to use. I'll watch this thread for what appears to be the most popular. Richard
I doubt that they can change Honda policy and requirements just to suit their oil stock (and profit margin) and be forceful enough to suggest that you may compromise your warranty to suit their needs.I won't be doing my own oil changes. Wouldn't you just use the dealer sevice dept. and whatever they recommend? No chance of voiding the warranty that way.
I use the dealer as long as they have express service and are competitive with price. As long as you have a receipt and show the appropriate oil I'm sure that you are covered. Agree, if you have the dealers receipts then the issue is mute, something to be said for peace of mind.I won't be doing my own oil changes.

Sure you could scratch their back and go along with their suggestion, but you should also have the option of conforming to Honda's requirements too.
I'll bet that they know all about Honda's warranty requirements and that if pushed, they would soon come up with the proper oil.

I understand that but my point was that the dealer has changed the requirement on their own say-so. This may or may not be a good argument and justification for using another oil should you choose to go (or even have to go) somewhere else.My point is, as long as you have the dealer service the car, the onus is on them to use oil that is compliant to the warranty specs. No chance of voiding the warranty.
I hear you CCT...it will be a while before I'm due for the first service. Please let us know what you find out! Thanks!

Castrol Edge I'm using, The dealer said he uses this on his own vehicles.I will be due for my first oil change in about a 1000 miles, and I'm undecided on which 0W-20 to use. I've used AMSOIL for years, but now I'm considering Mobil1 or Castrol Edge. Anyone have their spin on which oil manufature they'll be using in the CT?
