Question about oil.

Hey everyone. I have an 06 TL and I was wondering which motor oil is better. When I go to the dealer for an oil change they put in the "acura" brand motor oil. They also have mobil 1 which is a bit more pricey but prob worth it. Does any1 know which is better for the TL?

I also use the 5W20 Mobil 1. I change it myself- takes all of 15 minutes, tops. $30 saved over dealer= money well spent.

The 5qt jugs of 5W20 Mobil1 are $22 at my WalMart, which is a significant savings over the $5.99/qt for the single quarts. $6 for a Purlator Pure One filter.
