im dont have an si but im running 5w20 M1 in my 06 civic ex and i plan on running 5w30 M1 in my 07 tsx. Since your an acura tech do you ever see the auto tranmission drain plug thread gets stripped? I dont know if i should make a big deal about my independent honda mechanic changing it along with the atf fluild - i like to change it every 15k.
