JASO MA Oil Decision – Rotella Synthetic
After getting some excellent advice from Kentco earlier this year, I have been reading on what’s the best brand that is available locally. I can get Mobil 1 at Walmart, but only in litres at $16.97 which is too much. I decided to buy the Rotella T6 Synthetic for $42.97 (5L) at Walmart with a $5 online rebate. I will be changing the oil tomorrow night and will have some feedback about any improvement in shifting.
Just wondering if anyone knows a non-Honda part number for an oil filter that I might be able to get at Walmart, Canadian Tire or Napa.
For those also reviewing JASO MA spec oil, I came across this excellent webpage with easy to understand explanations:

Clutch Cam Plate Update
Since my last thread about poor gas mileage I have replaced my OEM secondary spring with a Dalton Red Spring (195 lbs @ 3", 312 lbs @ 1.75"). I have also installed a 2.0 mm shim (1.96mm measured on vernier caliper. I made the shim at home). But most importantly for this thread is the addition of the 700 cam plate.
The 700 cam plate has the exact same splines, size, fitment and angles as the 660 cam plate. The 700 cam plate just uses much, much better sliders that do not wear out. While I have found no performance increase with the 700 cam plate, there is absolutely no deficit either. But in my opinion the better slider design makes it a worthwhile upgrade to the 660 clutching. Additionally, the 700 cam plate with 4 new sliders (~$50) was still cheaper than a 660 cam plate alone (~$80) at my local dealer.
So for anyone Google’ing this or reading this on the future, the 700 cam plate is a bolt on part to the 660. It works perfect. I hope this helps someone that wants to find the answer to this question.
