Despite some question on the protection offered by the new 5W-20 oils, I'm leaning to using it for my 3750 oil change. I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything to sway me against using 5W-20, which is now recommended by Honda. Synthetic is an option, but means I'll probably have to do it myself since I don't trust them to use synthetic even if I bring it myself.
Anyone paid up for this paper or want to be the guinea pig and do so?

I do notice that the Penzoil 5W-20 is a synthetic blend, and wonder if that might not be true of all 5W-20 oils:

The Penzoil is $1.69 a quart locally at Pepboys. Anyone seen it for significantly less?
