Isn't there are "search" feature here?
The best oil out there, without knowing much about oil grade...is HONDA OEM oil. The manufacturers's oil is hands down the best, or perhaps, hands down, the, "safest."
They(Honda) also sells synthetic oil, but Honda oil does cost a bit more.
IMO, to be safe and have that peace of mind, use Honda genuine oil. I use Castrol GTX startup in my Accord and Castrol Syntec in my Prelude.
From my experience, the oil brand you want to stay away from is Mobil1...that stuff burns sooo much...
There isn't a better, or perhaps a good oil to use. It's user preference, so find what you like, and stick to it.

But, to a lot of people, having peace of mind really overshadows everything else. My aunt used to go to Honda to get her regular oil changes...i insisted i would do it for her as long as she paid for the oil and filter...but she always went there and paid $30.00 and waited almost all day to get her car back...
---she wanted peace of mind, when in all reality i could've done it for her in 15 mins---
I do a lot of oil changes, i service 4 household cars, plus a lot of my friends cars...ive come across a wide range of different oil types. When my friend with a 94 Prelude(not Acclude) started to use Honda OEM oil, he told me it was far better than the the exxon oil he used to use, which costs like 1.80 per Liter lol...
How he can tell? well, he says there is less carbon buildup on his muffler tailpipe, which in turns means he burns less oil...but that's that...and his opinion...
To the thread starter: okay, here are two(2) brands i suggest you try out...Castrol & Quaker state. If you want, try out that Royal Purple oil...i hear and read that stuff is really good, albeit pricey.
LOL, i was also reading Import Tuner...seems Greddy now makes oil! ..must be expensive as hell...

I work at a Honda dealership, all they use is mobil 1. Been using it for a good year and a half now(since I started working thier, free oil changes are the best, lol) and its been good, haven't used anything else so I wouldn't be able to tell you if thiers a difference or not. I used it when I had my old motor(211,xxx miles) and ever since I switched over to my H22 (42,xxx miles) and its been really good on both motors, I would switch over to thier synethic but than I'd have to go to the parts counter and buy it instead of getting it from the pumps located all over the shop.

OMG, would someone just tell this man what weight to use? I've asked mechanics and seen recommendations at Pep Boys but I never get one answer. What is the best grade of oil to use on our cars?

As if.
Think they went out and bought or built a refinery or blending plant?
They bought some labels, and had some bottles blown.
Marketing genius, of course.....2003 Maxima SE Titanium Edition

Been using Mobil 1 10w-30 for about 20k miles (since I bought the car) running 6k between changes with a Wix/Napa Gold/etc filter...don't loose a drop of oil, but also recover a bit from the PCV oil seperator. Gonna start running 3 qts of 5-30 and a qt of 10-40 though. And I visit BITOG a bit, too.
10w-30. 5w-30 if its cold alot. As for best brand...take your pick from the name brands.Opal Metallic Green '92 LX 2dr manual, 181k miles, '94 prelude VTEC wheels for summer (steelies with snow tires for winter), Omni-power struts/springs, and other junk
