I have a 2008 Odyssey that has had a small oil leak for a few years. My mechanic said the leak is deep in a tough spot and would be very expensive to fix. So he said to keep an eye on it and top it off when needed.
That has certainly worked. Lately it seems to be getting a little worse but it ebb and flow at times. The engine calls for 5w 30. We are making an 8 hour trip to Atlanta soon. It is warm where we live but a bit cold in Atlanta. What weight oil should I use now? Should I go a little thicker? Would you normally go thicker in cold weather? Also, if I change to high mileage could that make the leak worse since it is thinner and such? Thanks
