use synthetic or regular oil?
in the past i have used regular 5w20 oil (changed at the honda dealer) and i was wondering if there there would be any benefit to using synthetic oil. i have a 2.3L 4cyl 2001 accord ex coupe. i used the search function first and none of the threads there answer this question, but i kind of got the idea synthetic is better. the only mods are a CAI and ngk double platinum spark plugs (if that counts). the engine has 91k miles on it. the temperature here ranges from 50F to 90F, so no extreme temperatures. i know that with synthetic your change interval can be longer, but i want to know if there will be any difference in the way the engine performs.
