I have doing a fair bit of reading on the forums on the benefits vs risks of both oils. I can't find much on the risks, perhaps because there are too many risks. I was in the local honda dealer and had the chance to talk to the service manager on the issue. He had a strong opinion on not using 0w20, the only reason he was able to provide was that 5w20 is "...a proven oil viscosity by years in the engine, and tested by Honda engineers. Why risk a motor on a lower viscosity oil. No one knows the impact on internal components of the engine."
I just want to provide the best lubrication for my 240,000km ( about 149,000 mi), 5 spd, that does a lot of highway driving in temperature from -30F to 95F.
Your thoughts?
PS: my first post.
