5W-20 oil

[ep3]

i went to pep boys and kragen today to look for some 5w-20 oil. all i still see is the pennzoil brand, and i thought by now, that they would have other brands. are there any others out there??? also, is pennzoil any good???

Up here, they only got castrol.
Thinking of going for synthetic 5w-30 next time:D

Castrol has a 5w-20 which is very good, Mobil1 should be available in most parts of the US by now, it is probably going to be the best over-the-counter 20 weight you can find (it might be a 0w-20 not sure , but still good to use in the Civic). Penzoil is a decent oil brand, I prefer Castrol GTX over it, but still regarded as a good oil.

The Honda and Motorcraft 5w-20 oils are turning out to be quite decent, as sold in bottles at Honda and Ford dealers.

The best 5w-20 IMO should turn out to be Redline , it has the highest viscosity out of any 20 weight oils and also has the highest shear resistant ratiing as well. I'm using it right now , but it is quite expensive stuff. My second choice would be Mobil1, followed by Castrol GTX, Honda and Motorcraft.
Check your local walmart for Mobil1 0w-20.

I went for a full synthetic brand called Royal Purple

here's a link www.royalpurple.com
and www.royalpurple.com/dealers/ecommerce.shtml

I have been running it for just around a thousand miles or so. The car runs great, but hard to say how much of a difference there is yet. I guess after a couple more oil changes I will have more info.
