New Accord requires 0W-20 comments on using 5W-20

How big is your stash? I have, in the past, sold a stash of oil to someone who could use it. I didn't have enough invested in the stash to lose any sleep even if I ended up giving it away. The important thing to me is that it ends up in the hands of someone who can use it.

I'd bypass the 5W-20 and go straight to heavy duty 10w30.

Acura TL 2wd specs one but the awd specs another one. The only difference is the .2 liter engine displacement but everything else is identical. Nobody that I know of has figured out the reason. I suspect nothing bad will happen if you swap the specs but I will not be the one finding that out!

And that would accomplish what?
