I think we all know the answer to this, but let me tell my story...
I just purchased a new Accord EX-L with the K24. 0w20 spec. So, after a ton of reading, I was thinking of going with TGMO. Well, then I've got to price shop and order it. Plus, There are a lot of good OTC oils I can get locally and at very good prices. That logic got me down to M1 0w20 AFE/EP. Well, then I saw that Menards had QSUD at a great price after rebate, but I thought to myself, "Is QSUD as 'good' as M1?" It's a terrible circle.
When I get down to it, I thought about two things:
I don't think there is a 'bad' 0w20 out there.
I have a Honda. Chances are it will run great and last a long time on any 0w20.
So, now I need to decide if I am going to take advantage of the Menards deal or not, as it ends soon. However, at $2/qt after MIR, I do not think I can pass it up. It's a quality oil. It just got me thinking...do we overthink oil choice in a HUGE way? Don't get me wrong, it's fun, but also exhausting.
