I know this has been answered before, but, I am new sorry. I just bought a Honda Pilot and it recommends 5w20 oil. However, I have heard even from the service dept where I bought it, that is is ok to use 5w30. I live in Hawaii so weather is not a problem. I ask because I really like Mobil1 5w30. Is it ok to use this weight oil in my Pilot? I heard 5w20 is mostly for fuel mileage and does Not protect as well as say 5w30 might. I do want to use a syn. oil. mv
