Just ask! Some parts stores don't stock many 5W-20 choices as it is still relatively uncommon for DIY, but is becoming more common all the time. Synthetic blend oils are retailing at around $3/quart which should have been about $15 for five quarts. A Honda size oil filter retails for $2-$6 depending on brand and store. $27 for the whole set sounds high. Your message is a little confusing as you talk about both Synthetic and Synthetic blend oils. Maybe you got sold a synthetic which at a parts store retails for around $6/quart. Do you live in an area with really cold winter weather? If so, running synthetic in the winter wouldn't be a bad idea. Compared to the cost of your '06 Odyssey, or even the cost of one tank of gas, $27 is nothing! John |

Re: '06 Oddysey Oil Change
I was told by the guy at Murray's that 5W-20 only came in synthetic.
Turns out he was wrong. I got a filter & 5 Quarts of non-synthetic 5W-20 at AutoZone for just under $15. Not a bad deal! Manual doesn't call for Synthetic, just wants it to meet Standards.
