Well i've never delt with b20b's and its a fully built motor and has less than 2k miles on it. But the cars been sitting for years. and the oil looks old. Whats your guys oil change setup? I herd that mobile 1 oil filter and oil is the best bet. Any input?

is it conventional or synthetic?
supposedly what ive heard is once you go synthetic you cant go back.

i use mobil 1 5w30 synthetic and mobil 1 filter.
i change oil around every 6000 miles and its always clean.

that rumor is just a rumor, oil is oil, it can be mixed, used to work for valvoline, they drilled this into my head, synthetic is more uniform and holds together a lot better and conventional as you can see is everywhere, then there viscosity, like 5w30 and 10w30, honda recommends 5w30 in the summer and 10w30 in the winter, im not getting into SAE weight and viscosity because its crazy long

yeah man just go for the 5-30 synthetic, filters are all basically the same, i usually just go with fram

honestly i drive alot more in the summer.
i did my oil change in november i wanna say but 5-w30 is ok but you know how mass winters are.

how cold does it get where you are in texas?

i think it should be fine though not like you get snow or anything...

thats a myth and makes 0 sense...

the easiest way to notice it was a rumor is synthetic blend, its not actually half and half its 25% synthetic and 75% conventional lol i rather just go fully, i've used Castrol Edge but im going to switch to Mobil to see the difference i hear nothing but things too
