'13 Civic Si coupe first oil change...

[Nine Point Five Gen]

...with 0W-20 and the dealer states they use a semi-synthetic blend for a $35.00 service. Instead I chose the 0W-20 full synthetic for a little more because I realized my prior '11 Si coupe would always burn through one quart using standard 5W-30 before the next scheduled oil change, so the full synth should eliminate any viscosity breakdown entirely...just a thought regarding my new experience with this model.

Keep us posted on how this one goes.

how much more was it for full synthetic at your dealer?

The dealer wanted $55 for the full synthetic service, and they were actually cheaper than local lube shops. From what I found 0W-20 is not available in standard form, it's either a synthetic blend or full synthetic...at least for now.

Since recent outside temps have been below zero at night the engine also definitely starts much quicker early the next morning.
