I'm the the 8th poster on this subject that uses Mobil One Synthetic Oil! I use the Mobil One oil jug that has a Gold Cap and I use 5W-30W!

I use Mobil 1 in my Riding Lawn mower, Harley Davidson, Honda CRV, and my RV which, I switched to Mobil 1 after I drained the break in oil from the factory when I bought my coach new back in 2004.
I just changed the oil on our CRV. Walmart has the five qt. jug of Mobil one for $22. By the time I add a Honda OEM filter ($5 online) I'm still well below $30 bucks. Top notch products, work done correctly, and no worrying about what the $10/hr monkey at the dealer, or garage, screwed up.
The last time I had anybody else do the work, the dealer tried to up-sell four new tires, a cabin air filter and an engine air filter. They removed the cabin filter from behind the glove box, reinstalled in upside down, and didn't bother to reassemble the glove box correctly. They put 5-1/2 quarts of oil in the engine, even though it takes 4.2. I had to use a brownie pan to drain the excess, while at laying on on the road at our winter campground.
Mobil one oil, and DIY oil changes for me. Cheap, easy, and done right, can't beat it.
