Afternoon all,
My wife's Accord is starting to have a very minor case of cold weather piston slap on startup. 210,000 miles, spent most of it's life on Valvoline SynPower 5w20 and does not burn a drop between 5K mile change intervals. I have tried Penn Ultra a couple of times and last winter I started using a very small amount of Lubro Moly to supplement each oil change but I think the results are probably negligible. Do you think this motor might be finally be a candidate for a jump to 5w30? This car spends 90 % of it's time at highway speed.
