High VM load, or high PAO load.... research your oil brand.
Consider any synthetic 10w30. There, I said it! But, I'd recommend a 0w40!

Next oil choice for 2012 Accord 2.4

Odyssey 2004 J35 engine with 202k. M1 EP HM 0w20 runs like the day it was brand new (since 80k miles bought used). 5k OCI with Honda filters. There's nothing wrong with 5(0)w20 in these engines.

I have serviced 3 1st gen TSX for years. We got ours in Dec 2008. 5w30, mostly M1. I suggest any 5w30 syn, high mileage depending on your odo.

It will be just fine.
That is a good, choice plus you can rest easy with the cold weather over the next few days.
FL has cold weather?
Many times FL is colder than SC. I don't get it!
On occasion, yes. It got the updated part under warranty many years ago which improved the frequency, but it still happens. On a 19 degree morning the other day, it serenaded me with a nice grind.
My sister and BIL is retired in The Villages mid state. It was 25degF yesterday morning with that nasty nations wide arctic dip. Get your O.J. now !
No oil is going to help with that unfortunately. It will need to be fixed again.
These vehicle tends to consume oil sooner or later, so a higher grade would be consider ideal.
It rattled even after the new part was replaced. It’s just a characteristic as far as I’m concerned. Never heard of it causing issues.
Good choice. I’m shocked you found QTs I can only find jugs.
I would’ve preferred the jug and that’s what I ordered, but this is what Walmart substituted it with. No complaints as I paid the same.
On one hand, that engine will be fine with a very broad range of oils. On the other, this is a very home-grown choice, when the world knows the car will run forever, without burning oil or gumming anything with 0 W 20. Was this cheaper than the Mobil One AFE in 0 W 20 THAT SAYS HONDA on it? Was the Honda filter a good deal? The car looks great and you are obviously maintaining it carefully, but would love to know your thinking.
The engine has accumulated some varnish and I just completed a run with HPL’s engine cleaner. I figured a run with a high detergent oil may have some benefit. Plan on switching back to M1 0w20 of some flavor after a run or two of this.
