for breaking : reg. valvoline 5w-30 w/ honda filter (for 100miles, 500 miles)
for summer use reg. duty 5w-30 RP w/ mobil 1 filter
for summer use severduty/ racing 5w-40 RP w/ mobil 1 filter
for winter use reg. duty 0w-40 Mobil 1 w/ honda filter
for winter use severduty / racing 5w-40 RP w/ mobil 1 filter

reg. duty = around town more than 5 miles and no auto-x or drag racing
severduty = auto-x or drag racing or quick trips 5 miles or less in a day usually made up very short trips.
Change the oil every 3,000 miles works wonders.

So if you need to make quick trips the next day you change your oil?
