    Well, it IS a lot, however, at $70, it's cheaper compared to the Pilot's last service (our 13 Pilot is insanely simple to change oil) which was $185 of which $80+ was for the oil change and tire rotation. I'd bet, though, that there are coupons they could easily use to save $10-$15 off. Just got a dealership coupon for a $20 Tire Rotation (which I think is normally like $35), so I guess they make money on people who don't bother to try and get a better deal.

    0W-20 is always (at least my understanding) partially synthetic, but surprisingly, Honda doesn't require full synthetic even though its a Turbo. 4 quarts is about average: remember, its a 1.5 L engine. My 1.8 L Miata only needs 3.5 quarts.

    I was under the impression that most of the majors who spec "synthetic" have really gone to a semi-synthetic/blend.
