Any K24 Honda owners here have any uoa’s with 5W/10W30 oils instead of the spec 0W20?
Thanks in advance!

Thinking about going up a oil weight? It's hot where you live so I think the 5w30 would do fine for you.

Gosh I’m not sure. It’s tempting though as I’ve always been a thick oil guy.

Don't have any UOAs to share with you, unfortunately, but I've seen K24s run well on 5w30 in Oklahoma in all weather. That was what we put in most vehicles that requested our cheapest (conventional) oil change at the Honda dealership that I worked at.

Does the 10W30 drag it down any compared to the 0W20?

I haven't noticed one bit. Just back from a 600 mile trip and averaged 28+ MPG's....which is good for non-CVT Accord with bike rack and hauling 4 adults.

I run Castrol Edge 0/40 in my k24 series engine, runs smooth, zero oil consumption in 6k miles, gas mileage has not dropped at all. Avg 34.4 2012 Honda Accord.
I use Amsoil 5w-20 SS in my `07 Accord 4cyl. It uses 1 qt per OCI which is about 6000 miles for me. I do a 2 year OCI. Only drive it 3000 miles a year.
From what I have read, there is no chance of wearing this engine out even with a 20 wt.

I use 1/2 qt in 6500 miles with the Castrol Edge 0/40. But again the noack is 8.5. my mpg is 34.5 with a 5sp manual. I use that any day over a 20wt.

Shell Australia, recommends shell Helix ultra 5W-40 for the k24 2.4L engines. 0/20 is only for Cafe [censored]
This also a a3/b4 oil. Somis Castrol 0/40

I use a 5w30 in my wifes crv, it quieted the engine down a lot more than i thought it would. Havent noticed any adverse effects.
I didnt say there would be, hence why i put there were none.

No, it's not.
