Synthetic is a good idea anyway, because of the extended oil change interval and reduced cold-start engine wear. It's worth the price premium over conventional, in my book. Since 0Wx retails for the same as 5Wx, grabbing the zero-W is a no-brainer.

0W20 is slightly more expensive at wholesale than 5W20.
