If 5W-20 were available when your engines were made they would have specified 5W-20 especially the newer SM versions, it's just a better, newer engine oil. I run the Chevron .59 cent 5W-20 SM in my '03 accord, '98 civic, '97 CRV which tows occationally...none sound weird or burn any oil...couple...

Bush administration de-regulated all the additive requirements back in '01, one of his first accomplishments for the refinery industry, they'll add whatever they deem necessary and if you don't like it, buy your gasoline elsewhere, free market will dictate issues like this...DOH?...DOH?..saved...

Mitsubishi 2.6 turbo awful pos in a Starion...better suited for a bulldozer or grader.

Any feedback on Honda's first street turbo in the Acura?

Mercury 'Classic 50' outboards Tecumseh 5hp 'snow king' Honda 4 cylinders, especially the 2.4..whoa!

just asked for it, no problem. I did a 7500 uoa on chev 5-20 in my 2.4, search it out.

I'm a territory rep here in s.e. Wi., carry 500lbs+ in samples maybe go 30k mi. per, drive a '03 Accord 2.4 EX, suspension handles the load remarkably well, brakes, rotors, tires all good, seat is wonderful, no weird noises or mechanical fits, fuel is aprox 32 60/40 city..did a 7,500 uoa, search...

I wouldn't start at all unless you could ride it for at least an hour..if your electrical system is tite don't do a thing, charged batteries like the cold..fuel today is better than ever, couple, three, four months won't bother that either, keep the cap on, fill it full. I have 1400 mi. on my...

right, but they didn't have 5w-20 available when they wrote the spec...use 5w-20 in all my Honda cars now...wonderful result.

forgot to mention that they heat the place with the used oil drains? how can they do that? pollution must be under control I'd hope.

These Valvoline quick changes have popped-up all around here, so I let them do a complementry 5w-20 & filter in my sons 98 civic, glad it was free, otherwise $31! (I do my own for less than $5)..bet they do 60 oil changes a day..anyway, Valvoline used to be a premium brand but I've heard nothing...

You could probably run corn oil in these engines and not have a problem.

7k on what appears to be severe use is excellent, are you going for it?

I run 5 honda ATV's on Amsoil MCV 20W-50, stuff is really the dope, not only can you feel the difference you can hear it..cost about $25.00 for a fill, try it and let me know how you like it.

Bought a new VTX1300R in April, broke it in, changed oil/filter a couple times, then @600mi. I did the synthetic MCV 20-50 cut 50% with Delvac1 5-40...(12.5-45) no? anyway, 1950 mi. now, it's getting colder here in WI. I may ride only a few days til next March or so...I'm leaving this fill in...

wow, that's a ton of makeup man, sell.

I'd be using a lighter and much cheaper 5-20 oil...then again, these units aren't real long for the world anyway...thats alot of gear to be driving short trips on paved road where they have the best snowplows tax money can buy. jmho.

What are you using the unit for? isn't this a farm or recreational sport type vehicle?

Uncle Sam gives so much per mile regardless of OCI or price per qt. LMAO!! He doesn't even care if you drive a Hummer or an Accord...same write-off. If a shorter OCI wasn't suguested based on this low wear UOA at 7,500 mi. why would anyone shorten it even further?..I see some of these nit-wits...

46,500 mi. now and the coolant kept perfect level, nothing ever added. I've been thinking that BlackStone must have screwed-up or mixed it up with another UOA which casts doubt on the whole effort or the HondaGenuine 5W-20 from the previous fill and the fact that I didn't change the filter out...
