Thinking of trying Honda 0w20 Full synthetic oil on my 1988 civic Lx 1.5L.
Is this too thin ?
Manual states 5w30 recommended.
Car is used primarily in cold weather months.
This is what Honda states on their website:
0W-20 Engine Oil – Now and for the Future
Honda 0W-20 engine oil is a full synthetic formula that provides advanced protection against oil breakdown for a cleaner running engine. Oil naturally becomes thicker at lower temperatures and thinner at higher temperatures. Oil viscosity is how thick or thin an oil is, which affects how it flows in the engine. Thinner oil has a lower viscosity, and therefore flows faster. The thin properties of Honda 0W-20 engine oil allow the oil to circulate more quickly, reducing engine operating temperatures and increasing cold start protection when most engine wear takes place and reducing friction to promote lower fuel consumption.
thanks
