My Honda Purchase & Oil Viscosity Use Question.

[Bryanccfshr]

Japan is implementing 5w20's and Europe is looking into it.

Check the UOA section. There's a really nice UOA on a late model V6 accord (oil cap recommends 5w-20) that was run on 5w-40.

Really low wear numbers.

I'll have a UOA in a few more months on my wife's acura 3.2TL on XD3 0w-30 (a heavy 30wt), and we'll find out if engine failure is imminent.

Lighten up a bit.No, not really. No one deserves that I be "PO'd" just because they don't agree with me and the dealer's service department manager and another technician they wanted in on this. It really doesn't matter.
And, as far as what the members of hondasuv.com use in their autos, that's fine with me.

We were being light! But when you come back and tell us thanks but you don't really think we are qualified to tell you anything...Well, why even post about it? It IS a fun forum and everyone was trying to relate their opinions. To this, you promptly told us we were idiots basically. Thanks!!!
