Where can I buy 5w-20 motor oil besides the dealer?
Does anyone know where I can buy 5w-20 motor oil? Im tired of paying the dealer price. I am glad that the Honda oil is made by Mobil. That is the only brand of oil I use and all of my vehicles have gone over 200,000 miles( one over 300,000 mile with no engine problems and it is still running to this day).

Rep Power: 0 YEp that is correct but you can also use 5w-30 full synthetic if you want....thats what i use. I asked my dealership if that was coo' they said yeah because full synthetic is alot thiinner or something like that...i forgot the mumbo jumbo the guy told me....but in all it works...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Pennzoil has a high sulfur content which lessens it;s lubrication ability slightly, however it does suspend particiles a little better than Mobil 1. As fas as engine wear goes both will to the same, Pennzoil may run slightly cleaner but the lubrication difference evens it out.. Go Mobil one for smoother performance.

Rep Power: 0 Anybody use Valvoline Semi-Synthetic? The Honda dealer in Dallas when I bought my 5th generation Civic said they prefered Valvoline, but that was a 5W-30 weight not 5W-20. I used it and really liked it. Stayed pretty consistant even with 5,000 miles on it.
