Greetings GC gurus:
I have purchased an 07 Honda Fit, and I adore this car. It has treated me very well for the 4400 miles I've driven it, and the oil life meter is reaching 30%. I will be changing the oil at 15%, as indicated in the manual. I have some GC left over from my previous car (99 VW Jetta), and would like to know if GC is an acceptable replacement oil for the OE Honda semi-syn 5w20. I'm thinking that it isnt, mainly because GC is a "thick" 30 weight when warm, almost a 40 weight, and my car is supposed to run on a 20 weight.
Thoughts/comments? Thanks.
