Best oil for high Milage accord?

I wouldn't recommend using any kind of synthetic or synthetic mix oil on a higher mileage engine. The many detergents in them can actually clean "too well" and cause your seals to leak. I used to have a small leak at my front seal and after adding "high mileage" oil several times that small leak doubled in size and I was losing a quart every 2 weeks

I have heard of some "rumors" of synthetic oils being too good and ruining your seals. I've never used any additives. If I wanna clean out my engine I will put in 100 octane to get a nice burn. I used Royal Purple for the longest but I never noticed any difference. Now that I think about it, I had all my oil leaks when I was using Royal Purple! But anyway, after a couple years I went to Castrol Regular Oil 10W-30. I like to run a little heavier oil so that if there is a leak it doesn't leak as fast.'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq

I've used High mileage synthetic blend and full synthetic. Never traditional oil. Always Castrol, with the exception of the one time I had the dealership change it.
Synthetic doesn't eat at your seals. It cleans deposits left by older lesser oils, thus exposing leaks. It doesn't cause them.
Also never use Pennzoil. It contains Paraffin wax.MRT
