I know it's able to do the job and modern motors are designed to use it, but jeez, I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around how that's possible.
Just observing, move along...
Hondas call for a 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil, that is what they are designed to use.
You didn't HAVE to buy oil from the soul sucking Walmart, there are PLENTY of other auto parts places that sell oil and filters.
How about the "soul sucking" AA, AZ, O'Reilly's Napa, etc? Or Target, K Mart, and Costco?
