I saw this and thought it was interesting, saying to use 5w30 to increase engine life. I know, old news!!:D

What Oil is the Best Oil?​

Before 2011, Honda recommended the use of 5W-20 oil in their Accords. From 2011 and onward, the recommendation changed from 5W-20 to 0W-20. The reasons for this comes down to tighter tolerances in engine manufacturing processes and fuel economy. In fact, if a vehicle will be used for towing, 5w30 oil is recommended in order to increase the engine life.

lol, how is going from 5w20 to 0w20 needed for tighter tolerances??
What tolerances? rod journals? Yeah ok. Do none of these writers know about CAFE?
Toyota must hate me for running 20w50 in a 2020 toyota camry, that just reminds me I gotta change the oil in it.
