I'm surprised no one else has heard this. When I was in my Honda Dealer where I purchased my 2001 Rubicon, they told me about a bulletin that they had gotten from Honda. Honda is recommending the use of one of the Honda Synthetic Oils, no longer just GN4 10w-30/40. At the time(it's been 6 months at least), they didn't have any of the oil. I didn't get any specs or specific names on the oil only that that's what they are moving to. If I recall, one of the reasons was to prevent slippage in the trainy. I've not experienced that in mine at all. 800 miles and still as happy as zero miles.

Rooster, I've changed my oil once and my oil tank also ran over while adding the 5th quart. I had drained the tank, crankcase and changed the filter. I stopped adding oil and cranked it, shut it off and the level was at half the dipstick. I added the rest of the 5th quart and it brought it up to the full mark. I thought everyone had to do it this way.
