    Long Term 5w-30 use in Honda 1.5t

    Definitely dump that trash 0w20, the only way a street driven Honda will last is with 5w30.

    What one oil would you pick if only one could be had?

    Amsoil 5w30 LS. Satisfy my Amg and RS along with track duty in the FL5.

    Change from 0w20 to 5w30

    Engine probably needs a tear down, piston rings are fried from running that swill 0w20.

    Change from 0w20 to 5w30

    you should run a 5w40 just in case. Lord only knows what will happen if you run a 0w20 in a street vehicle.

    2020 Subaru STi 21k miles. Need help selecting 5w-30 oil (extended SoA 8 year 80k warranty)

    The M139 from mercedes would like to enter the chat, which is more power dense and runs a 0w20. Special Tec LL 5w30 meets the requirements for the extended warranty while also being MB 229.5 and VW 502/505 licensed.

    Recommended oil change interval for rarely driven Honda S2000?

    Being it's garage kept you could probably get away with 18+ months. But obviously it's a gem and piece of mind> $60. Change it every 12 months IMHO.

    Is the recommended 0-20 bad for engine life?

    It was 20 years ago, but thank you for reminding me :ROFLMAO: didnt know 5w20 all of a sudden became THAT much different

    Is the recommended 0-20 bad for engine life?

    It was an imported JDM 2.0. 5w20 into 0w20 was ran its entire life. (y) Here is the shop that got the JDM 2.0 - Moore Performance, you probably heard of them if you were into the subaru world in the early - mid 2000s. They were out of Pittsburgh PA. Mike at Innovative Tuning did all of their...

    Is the recommended 0-20 bad for engine life?

    It was an imported JDM 2.0, so no. Even had a lightweight flywheel and a catback. 5w20 for awhile into a 0w20 around 2016+, swapped the motor in 2017. 5w20 into 0w20. The shop doing performance work on my Nismo 370z stocked Amsoil and that was used for 4+- years. Prior it was whatever advanced...

    Is the recommended 0-20 bad for engine life?

    Had an 03 forester with 350k on the motor. The frame rusted out, dropped the motor into a different forester and kept going. Ran 0w20 it's entire life from 5 miles new.

    2021 VW GLI - Track Day (Open Lapping) at TMP

    Nice drive! Always loved the look of the Gli. Had a Mk7.5 and Mk8 gti along with a 2020 TTs. The Dsg's were my least favorite and definitely never "sporty" enough. The shifter on the Mk7.5 was ok for a 6 speed. Comparing to my 370z nismo and FL5 it's really hard to ever be happy with a shifter...

    MK7 Volkswagen GLI, change viscosity after tune?

    Regardless of spec, in the tuning world it's best to run with what your tuner recommends based on subjective experience and platform

    0w20

    With that 10 year warranty run whatever the manual says. With that being said more frequent oil changes will be beneficial if you plan on keeping it past the warranty.

    Switching to 5w30

    Regardless of how far in the weeds we go, a 229.71 spec is more than enough for a stock FA20.
