Yup. We too use 0W30 or 5W30 in all our RL's, of course all our engines have less than 10k driven by the time we sell them. Same goes for our 2013-2016 CRV and Accord models. We pay typically 1.50 or at most 2.00 / qt for synthetic M1 AFE, on sale every December at Autozone and we stock up to 50 gallons or more.
As to the ATF filter, any pictures ?
