R u going to change oil yourselves?
Whatever weight of oil is recommended for your car, use that (Oil type printed on your engine cap). I own a 2006 accord and I use full synthetic oil and change oil every 5000 miles although they say I can go 7500. I could also use standard mineral oil which is a lot cheaper but performance wise, it's no good in the long run. There is also half-synthetic blend.
5w-20 is just the weight of oil for your engine type. Among that, you will find mineral oil(standard & cheap), half synthetic, and fully synthetic (much expensive, $60 for oil change they charge, and it is reasonable).
