Hello, My Acura is due for its first oil change and I wanted to know what is a good 0w20 motor oil and filter? Thanks.
 
Mobil 1 0w20 would be my pick, and a Fram Ultra if it's available for your application [which you didn't mention].
 
Amazon has a great sale on the excellent Castrol Magnatec 0w20, $20 for a 5-quart jug free shipping with amazon prime membership. Name brand quality stuff.

Best 0w20 might just be BMW TwinPower 0w20, rated to LL14, BMW's tough oil spec which is tougher than dexos1. ebay or BMW dealership

Otherwise, go for Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 at Walmart with a Fram Ultra oil filter, best filtering, silicon ADBV, synthetic media.
 
Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum, Valvoline Synpower, Castrol Edge. Whichever you like best. Valvoline is on sale btw. They're all good synthetics. Go to your local walmart and pick up a jug. Best bang for your buck is the Fram Ultra. It'll filter out any build up the car has from the break in process. All in should be around 35 bucks.

Why would anyone recommend Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy when M1 Ext Perf is available for only a few dollars more?
 
Why would anyone recommend Mobil 1 Extended Performance when they won't use it for 10k and then UOA on it to see if it can go farther? Hmmm

Because Mobil 1 0w20 Advanced Fuel Economy is outstanding(of course 0-20EP is as well). I've used it for years with great performance at 10K OCIs.
and MC FL910 filter.

Honda synthetic has a huge following here. Not sure who makes it for Honda.
 
As others have said, Pennzoil Platinum, Mobil 1, Castrol Edge and Valvoline Synpower are all great synthetics available at Walmart for great prices. Any of these paired with a Fram Ultra XG7317 would be a winning combo. Having said that, Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 paired with a Fram Ultra is my go choice for my Honda.
