no.. and I wouldnt recommend it. Your engine was made for conven. oil, so stick with it.

I used Motul on my old D16 but I was racing it. As far as power increase, I couldnt' say I felt it but the engine ran smooth.

I do it...

don't trust the jacka$$es... they always overfill/underfill... put crappy oil... and don't tighten the filter enough...

its so simple too... just don't understand sometimes...

As a city employee i have access to the cities garages, which i may add makes me feel like a kid at toy's R us whenever i'm in there. So i'll either do it there depending how busy the guys are, or in the comfort of my own garage at home~

i think im gonna try motul anyway when i change my oil next month... i push the little d16 a lot so maybe it will help a bit.

how often do u do an oil change - honda recommends every 6000km believe it or not...
