5W20 Symthetic Hard to Find on Sale

[jackkpts]

In the past month, I have tried to buy a 5w20 synthetic for my Hondas. Checkers had PP on sale for 99 cents after rebate, but they do not carry PP in a 5w20. So, I went to Advanced Auto to buy some Valvoline SuperSyn at BOGO, but they do not carry this in 5w20 either.

I would like to use a synthetic and do 7,500 OCI or twice a year until the warranty is up on both cars (they both have about 33K on them). Then I plan on once a year with Amsoil 0w20.

Is there a good $2 blend that would give me 7,500 miles of suburban driving? I have considered buying some of the 5w30 SS and then mixing a quart or two with the regular Valvoline, giving me a 5w23 or so. Any thoughts??

go with the motorcraft blend. that should get you to 7500 in the honda with no problem. get the 5 qt jug at china mart for around 10 bucks. contact Pablo the Amsoil man,a site sponsor, for purchasing Amsoil. He will not steer you wrong.

MC has shown excellent UOAs

Walmart has synthetics in 5W-20. You just won't get it for BOGOF - or 99 cents after rebate.

Only a UOA will determine if a syn-blend like Motorcraft may last 7.5K inside your engine.

I agree with all above, but I'd definately confirm with a UOA. I'm currently playing around with the Super Tech 5w-20, ($1.54 a quart, regular price) which is a blend but I won't have any UOA's back for several months. Motorcraft has been a great performer in a lot of apps as seen here over the years.

What kind of driving and Honda engine, do you use? Honda in the manual recommends 10000 mile intervals. I laugh too, but the engines are pretty forgiving.

Yeah but I think he wants an everyday low price oil.
