After researching....to death, LOL, I'm going to give one of these 2 oils a shot in my 17 HB Sport. They are both 100% Ester based which seems to counteract the so called fuel dilution I've been reading about, it won't eliminate it but is supposed to hold up better against it. I was going to use Amsoil SS but will be the guinea pig for these as no one has ever tried them from what I can see. They are a bit more than the SS but I'm not interested in long OCI's, I'm wanting the best protection possible and I will change it twice per year and probably won't even put 10K on per year. I'll keep all posted but I'm leaning towards RedLine, they also emailed me with answers to my questions and recommended to not change the OE oil until 1500-2000 miles before the switch to theirs. I just hit 1500

Both reputable brands.

Redline is a bit more accessible. They are american after all. One of the member here already tried Amsoil.

You wont go wrong with either one anyway.

I like how you go all the way on maintenance. Given how our engine is designed, it is not a bad idea.

I want to try Motul when I get my CTR. I've always heard amazing things from them and its pretty much the main oil racing teams use in Europe. Theres so many lines of Motul is can be a little confusing on what the best line would be though.

I have used Redline 0w-20 since the first oil change along with a Royal Purple oil filter with no problems. Redline is one of the very best oils on the market. Our Honda Civic Touring 1.5 Turbo runs great on the Redline 0w-20 oil.
