If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay per quart?
I saw that posted on another thread (I think it was you). I checked local stores (Wal-Mart, auto stores, warehouse clubs, etc.) and found only one that carries it. I needed to add some because of insufficient levels on my first oil change (wasn’t about to go back for 1/4 of a quart). It was $8.00 for a quart so I figured on waiting till my next oil change to see if the dealership still used 0w-20 oil and how much they charged. The dealership I use has a discount club (have to buy a vehicle off them to take part) that gives me 10% off parts, accessories, and service. On my last oil change (few weeks ago and posted on a thread somewhere), I noticed that they still use 0w-20 and also charged me $5.99 per quart.

I’m wondering if Honda stocks this oil in their warehouses or has dealerships get it from local distributors. Did Honda know about this when redesigning the 2006 HCH and will they use 5w-20 as well? I’m sure there's not too much difference between the two grades either way.
