Yun din reason kung di ako gumamit ng fully synthetic sa Accord ko dati. I opted to use 40-weight oil for protection but looked for semi-synthetic options. Kung hatak lang, di ka mabibitin sa Accord pero I found the HX7 to warm-up faster compared to my alternative oil. Sa FC naman, di puwede ikumpara yung Accord sa compacts (Civic, Altis, etc.) kasi 50% bigger displacement (2.3L vs 1.6L).

Yung alternative oil ko was Valvoline NextGen 10w40. Nabibili ko ito sa Ace Hardware for 1200 per 5L container. I found it to be a good semi-synthetic oil for its price. 5L kasi kelangan nung Honda F23 VTEC every oil change. Nung naka-source ako ng HX7 for half its retail price (bulk buy), stay na ako sa HX7 kasi sulit sya.
