No question here, just talking.

I have an oil change coming up on the Accord I like trying new things, so I think I'll try another oil this time around.

So far I've tried (on various vehicles):

Mobil 1 0W-20
Mobil 1 0W-20
Mobil 1 5W-20
Mobil 1 5w30
Motorcraft SynBlend 5W-20
AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-20
AMSOIL Signature Series 5w30
TGMO 0W-20
Pennzoil Ultra 5W-20
Honda Genuine SynBlend 5W-20
Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20
Castrol GTX 5w30
Castrol GTX 10w30
Castrol GTX 10W-40
Castrol Syntec 5w30
Castrol Edge 5w30
Quaker State 5w30

Anyone see something missing here???

An Ashland Product. Think I'm going to try either SynPower or NAPA Synthetic.

You still haven't tried several 0w20s:

Motul Eco-Lite 8100 0w20
Motul 300V 0w20
Renewable Lube 0w20
Royal Purple 0w20
Mazda 0w20
Torco SR-1 0w20
Torco SR-5 0w20
Red Line 0w20
 
For $3.49, you can't go wrong with Napa Synthetic 0/5w20 (Synpower).

But really though, any of those will be fine for the MM-suggested OCI
 
Castrol 0w30 Edge also known as German Castrol due to being made in Germany and
Castrol 0w40 which is known as Belgian Castrol
 
I was going to try the TGMO/Mobil 1 0W-20/40 blend but ended up not having as much money as I would like this week, so I'm just going to go with a 5w20 conventional. Heading to Walmart after work and will post back with the results.

Will be using a Honda A01 filter for this OCI too.
 
If there's anything I've learned being on BITOG for the past almost year, is that I really can stop pouring tons of money away on fancy synthetics and short OCI's, save my money, and sit back and relax!
 
Picked up NAPA conventional 5W-20. Can tell no difference and saved some money.
