That's what I did.If you are concerned about protection, why not use XW-30?

Doing my best to help the OP stay within his desired viscosity range. It would have been easy to just tell him to use a 0W-40 oil
Would a 40wt be safe in a 07 Acura TL type S with a J35a8.
Yes, I use Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 which is the exact same thing with a touch more ZDDP and a lot more Calcium.

The FS is great oil but with DPF and GDI I think the ESP is closer to Universal.
That's a port-injected V6, this is the oil you want: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-1-...ll-Synthetic-Motor-Oil-0W-40-5-Quart/23636902
Also, in Europe, for most Hondas Mobil 1 recommends 5W-30 or 0W-40. So win-win
Interesting option. Maybe the 40wt might help some of my seeping gaskets. If you have some seeping gaskets would a regular dino leak less?
Nope, bad gaskets are just that. What exactly is leaking, your oil pan, valve covers or both?
Intermittent rear main seal leak. I say intermittent because sometimes it completely stops and sometimes it seeps a tiny amount. I’m not certain on this but it seems like it seeps with redline oil.
The other seep is a oil pump gasket leak I believe.

You'll be amazed at how clean this oil will keep your engine. I run it in my 5.7 HEMI that calls for 5W-20 (and doesn't have an oil cooler) and purrs like a kitten.

Additionally, the API is not worried about your cat only, they are worried about the cats in the 280 million vehicles operating in the USA. Dropping the efficiency by only 10 percent makes a huge difference in large cities.It's not like the higher levels of zinc/phosphorus will make the catalyst fail instantly but I think the problem is more that it can shorten the lifespan of the cat. I'm sure the difference is more noticeable in a laboratory setting or in a large fleets setting with cars that are driven tons of miles and are kept until they become uneconomical to repair.
Probably even exceeds them
What's the application you're looking to use such motor oil for? Do you have an oil cooler?
I didn’t know you needed a oil cooler to run Redline?
