Hi guys, what engine oil do u guys use for your HCH? I previously used mineral oil but was advised by Honda service to use full synthetic (5W40) for better performance. After 2 months of usage, I felt that power is no difference from using mineral oil and the fuel consumption is worst. Any experience here to share?

True enough, I've experienced it too. Drop in FC and car jerking when accelerate right after crossing a bump. I will try 0w20 on my next service.
