2011 Accord.

I am getting close to an OCI, which is great, no oil change in the dead of winter.

I have been using the CoP Honda semi-syn that I got a deal on when I purchased the car. The parts manager won't budge on price this time, and it is not worth it for $7 a quart.

The oils I can get locally are:

M1 AFE 0w-20
Castrol Edge 0w-20
Toyota 0w-20.

That's it, for some reason 0w-20 oils are not common here. Most look like they have been sitting on the shelves for quite a while.
I usually run the MM to 30-20%.
What would you run in a Wisconsin winter?

Toyota 0w-20 is the lightest of them all.
M1 AFE is the easiest to obtain.

I'm going to use Mobil 1 0w20 in my new 2012 V6 Accord at it's first oil change.

Just saw the new 2013 and it is real nice!

Go with Mobil 1.

First choice Toyota if dealer discounts to around $5.50-6/qt, otherwise M1 in 5-qt jug at WM for about $25.

I can get kendall GT-1 Full Synthetic with Ti for around $5.62 a quart here. http://www.petroleumservicecompany.com/kendall-gt-1-fs-w-ti-0w-20.html

From what i have read Kendall is pretty good oil too.

of the three that you listed, I'd use the
Mobil 1due to cost and availability.
I use Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Platinum 0w20
in my wife's Camry.
