Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

Engine: z22se
Current oil: Shell Helix Plus 10w40
Previous oil: Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 (used during colder months)
Feeling: Since I change my oil every 5000 km's I tend not to go for the expensive stuff. Engine runs very smoothly and recently when I changed the timing chain I was impressed with how clean the internals were.

Engine: z22se
