Me too.

Although I tried Royal Purple 10-40 once.  Rode it about 200 miles, and went back to 15-50 Mobile 1.

Used the "used" royal purple in the lawn mowers.

Hope the Mobil-1 10-30 is safe at least for the winter.

You'll be fine, unless it is labled "energy conserving". If so, just use it in your car and  get 10-40 0r 15-50 next time. They say the energy conserving will eventually make your clutch slip.  I don't know if that is true or not, have no personal experience myself. Honda does specify 10-40 in the manual. ??? hoser
