I use Gulf Comp 10w40 from opie oils. Oil burnt rate is very minimal compared to what i use to get with it.

I was looking at the Fuchs titanium and mobile super fully synthetic both 5w40 but not sure what's best for Honda engines.. How much dose the engine take?

You considered a thin gauge aluminium for your front splitter? Strong, so should take a few hits and it's a damn site lighter than 12mm ply! :?

Ply really isn't that heavy. I'd say 12mm is overkill though.
I think there's quite alot of competition cars that use it
