Is Honda 0w20 oil synthetic?
FWIW, my Honda dealer here in Mpls told me the Honda brand 0W20 oil is SEMI-synthetic and NOT full synthetic. That seems logical to me because they charge $39 for a 0W20 oil change and to get full synthetic almost anywhere it cost you around $60 for an oil change. Full synthetic Mobil 1 0W20 cost $6.50 a quart at Walmart, so you are already over $33 just for the oil. Add labor and a good filter and your at the $60 mark.
