Don't use the Royal Purple! It is not recommended for our Hondas!!!
According to the RP site they are recommending their 5w40 or 10W40 Motoroil. If you don't have any problems don't change it!!

I didn't have any problems either and when I swapped fluids the problems started. I switched back to the New Honda Fluid and see if that will get me back to normal.

Like the old saying says: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
