What's a good cheap 0w-20 for a 1.5 Turbo Honda?

How long did it take you to get it? It always says "Ships in 1-2 months"...

The car in question is a 17 Honda CRV with the not so new Honda 1.5T engine. it specs 0w-20, so whats a good replacement for it? I'll most likely use a non oem filter as well...any recommendations for that?

My previous car was an 08 XB that I used a Fram Ultra and whatever 5w 20 was on sale.

Thanks in advance!

My wife has the same engine. Here is what I will use: Amsoil OEZ 0W-20

If you are interested shoot me a PM, with Preferred Customer and case price, knocks off 25% or so off that price. Fully compliant with Honda recommendations and very good UOA'S posted over the last few years.

Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 and a Honda oem filter. That's what I use.

I think a lot of us missed the "lease" part of the OP's question. So, unless he plans to convert the lease to a purchase at the end of its term, the cheapest way to comply with Honda warranty requirements is all he needs.

Magnatec still seems like a good bet: a quality oil that just happens to be cheap.

Mobil1 AFE for LSPI caution (low calcium), or Magnatec if no issue has come up with this platform. At least until GF-6 is released to market.

+1 for Magnatec or the QSUD with rebate.

Quaker's website doesn't have any promotion now. Where is the QSUD rebate?

I believe this is what others are referring to.

No, thats an old cached page you're bringing up. Quaker claims they have NO promotions currently for DIYers.

if your following the OLM on 0/20 I'd be buying the oil and filter from the dealer and keep the receipts.

especially one that's Turbo AND direct injection!
What would that be? Pennzoil PU ? Synthesized but not a group IV or V?

Are the better Group III refined petroleum oils good enough for hard turbo use?

I am surprised at this point ILSAC doesnt have a "special" turbo spec other than trying to lump it into GF-5 - possibly at a higher cost to everyone.

HG offer full and semi 0/20, the latter around $3.50. If your operating often below freezing keep all your receipts.
