Maybe so, but the first one I bought (an '85 Accord) reached a little over 1 light-second on the odometer before I donated it to charity.

0W-20 is just thinner than 10W-30.
Doesn't say anything about quality, it's just a measure of viscosity. While the quality defines the life. (oil or engine)
Anyway, going cheap may get very expensive.
Check which oils to use by the manufacturer.

How much is the filter?
Ah, you didnt think about the filter did you? 
Anyway, this sounds OK. Filters can be a right pain to get off, give the garage $55, it is a good price, let them get filthy dirty.

Correct.
I'm not touching this engine.
I'm going to pay the professionals to do it.
Perhaps that will help matters.
Based on my historical lack of car skills, it certainly won't hurt.

Notes from a car guy:
Your car takes 4 quarts of oil (or more precisely, 3.7, but they charge you for four. Then, there's the filter.
The (recommended) oil for your car is a synthetic blend. Valvoline full synth is about $7/quart at wlamart.
Buy a quality filter - I use Motorcraft on my Mustang, but Wix on all my other cars. DO NOT get FRAM oil filters. If you buy the filter yourself and take it to whereever you get your oil changed, they'll install it

What are Your thoughts on the Mobil 1 M1 Oil Filter ?
Interesting; eBay has This...
- "...Genuine Honda / Acura Engine Oil Filter Accord Civic CR-V Pilot OEM 15400PLMA02..."
...for just about the same price; and that's for quantity 1.
Is the genuine Honda part better than the Mobil 1 part ?
eBay couldn't find a match between "Wix" and my Honda.
Thanks for your input (which I just voted up one). My knowledge of cars is not quite zero; almost, but not quite.

Just went to the local oil change place.
Their price: $75

My oil costs almost that much (my Mustang uses 9 quarts at $8/quart). I do my own oil changes because everybody's head explodes when I tell them a) how much oil it needs and b) that there are two drain plugs in the oil pan. I also don't trust anyone else to do it right.

Always used synthetic; regardless of the make.

Scientists discover mysterious repeating radio signal from deep space | Euronews[^]
I go along with this theory:
Robert McNees: It 'could be' a signal sent back in time by humans to warn us that we write too many 'could be aliens' stories, and everyone in the future is kind of embarrassed for us
Yeah. That sounds about right.

Was just reading that story then came here.
I think it's a universal message sent out by a superior race on a distant planet telling others not to come to earth because there's no intelligent life there!

It's actually location data from alien smart phones. They appear to have had the same data privacy problems that we do now.

Yea, that was me... Sorry about that, my bad. I was trying to hookup a Raspberry Pi B+ to an old fashioned hot plate to cook up the perfect plate of bacon. I followed JSOP's advice on how to setup Linux to get the perfect settings. The only problem was that the bacon was cooking too slow, so I ramped up the power and the coil from the hotplate produced photons that entangled with those half way across the universe. I tried to stop it, but it started producing short burst radio waves and apparently bounced back. I could tell, because they smelled of bacon. 
Update:
Apparently, I did more than originally thought. The device I built also caused the northern electromagnetic field to shift at a faster rate.
Something very strange is happening to Earth's magnetic North Pole and no one knows why
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Its undoubtedly an alien's social media post sharing the details of a recent snack.

Its repeating, it must be alien Christmas day TV.

If a plant gets hungry, does it need a light snack?
