Pennzoil is a "higher end" oil in Shell's lineup. I'd go with PP.
i like the qsud $21.00 at wal mart
Some say the Pennzoil cleans better but the QSUD Is better for wear... They are both great oils.

I could not find a service schedule for your CRV (other than it has an OLM that tells you when to change the oil). Based upon your driving style, QSUD would be quite ok (as would any synthetic) for at least 5K miles, though I am betting the OLM does not go off until around 10K.

I say they're essentially interchangeable, particularly in that application.
I would say both would easily be able to go for the full OLM OCI, and with almost indistinguishable ability.

Either would be good, Any 0w20 will be fine for the OCI suggested by your car's MM.
There are posts on this site that provide such insight into the use of oils, fluids, chemicals, cleaners and of course savings on oil purchases that I cut and paste them into maintenance folders of vehicles I maintain.
In this case, although my CR-V OLM will go to 10k before 15% shows, I never take it past 7500 using any brand of synthetic. Of those times with conventional oil, I have changed at a 4k interval. In most cases, I have used a Fram Ultra at a 15k combination of OCIs.
My reason for such action is from a BITOG poster saying the K24 engine screens allowing oil to the VTC actuators can become clogged causing serious timing and idle issues. As also stated in that post, the screens can be easily cleaned. I choose to also set a mark with reasonable OCIs as a degree of preventative maintenance and find the time to find quality oils at great discounts via the information posts on this site.

Give up the free filter ?
Noooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!
Noooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!
Bring it back to a store and exchange it for a better one or just get a refund Most stored give refunds or store credit without a receipt.
I found two of them in the back of the storage room and i had my son bring them back to wal mart when he went to get some oil.. Returned no questions asked..

What would 5W-30 do to that 2013 Honda CRV ?
Winter is coming.
ROFL, yeah winter in Cali!!!!!!
Ok so what oil is recommended? If 0w20, Id go with the Platinum, although both would be more than fine.
Not sure why everyone is against the extra guard, can someone say why? Is it because of having cardboard end caps? I would use a Fram TG or Ultra, never heard of Xtra guard, but I wouldnt hesitate to use it.

Either oil is an excellent synthetic and will do the job. I personally prefer PP and that has been my go-to oil over the past 5 or so years in my non-Euro applications.

rolla,
Cut an extra guard open and see for yourself compare it to say maybe a Wix... Any WIX even the cheapest one they make and you decide.. It will be obvious which is by far the best made.
Frams top of the line ultra is built very well and again if you cut them both open you can easily see which is better.
Not everyone is against the extra guard they are a big seller for fram.
