Honda oil?
I went to the Honda Dealer the other day to buy 4 L of oil and a filter and
new drain plug washer for my 2004 Accord.
The 2 guys at parts said. " You don't really want to purchase oil here do
you? It's almost $5.00 can a litre, save your self some money and buy it at
Wal-Mart!!
I walked out with just the oil filter and washer.

At least in the US the Honda branded 5W-20 oil appears to be very close,
if not identical to, the Exxon Superflo 5W-20. Considering the
ExxonMobil is the supplier of record for Honda branded motor oil in the
US this makes plenty of sense.
No need to buy Honda brand oil! Do look for the most recent GF-4/SM
rated stuff if you are oil shopping. Right now most stores have a mix
of the older lower spec GF-3/SL on the shelves alongwith the newer oil.
By most accounts the GF-4 graded oils are an improvement over the
GF-3, particularly when talking about conventional oils.
