I’ll still go with the thinner oil in my Honda all day long though. As I have mentioned here many times, I drive that car very gently and simply have no need for a higher HTHS oil. I am very confident that 0w20 in this car will get me to 500,000km and that thinner oil will get me the best gas mileage possible. I’m currently averaging 50 MPG over the last 500 miles.
For my Corvette, I know that running the thicker ESP 5w30 is a benefit since I like to go full throttle often. I rarely ever go full throttle in the Civic. Mostly under 25% throttle and the engine spends 99% of the time at 1800 rpm or less
