he bought blended synthetic....that is not what M1 is....of course it's gonna be cheaper.

Oh really?

Went to a local Honda dealership and they had a parts section and it was pretty quick and easy. $7 + tax per 1 bottle. Not bad at all. I think it came out to 30.30 for 4 bottles. I have two left over from changing the ATF. They have a decent deal on oil change stuff too. 4 liters of blend synthetic oil, Honda OEM oil filter, washer... $20 + tax. Way cheaper than going out and buying 5 liter jugs of Mobil 1 Full Syn + NAPA Gold oil filter. ($25 and $8 before tax respectively)

Changed air filter today too, yay me.

I never said which I bought. I bought the Mobil 1 and NAPA oil filter. I already had the oil filter by the time I went to the parts store, figured I may as well get the good oil anyway.

Mobil1 isn't even full syn unless you get the extended performance.
neither are alot of the synthetics advertised as synthetics.
