Honda K24 5W30/10W30 uoa request

[aquariuscsm]

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 5W-30 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.

This is a 50/50 mix of old school PU 5w20 and 5w30.

But right now, I'm running Maxlife 10w30 in it. Full Strength.

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 5w-30 in my wifes crv, it quieted the engine down a lot more than i thought it would. Havent noticed any adverse effects.

Why would there be adverse effects?

 

[ChevyMan93]

I didnt say there would be, hence why i put there were none.

in hotter climates a 10-30 beats a 5-30, the first # is the starting base oil then viscosity improvers to reach 30, that is unless its a REAL group IV or V synthetic that the 30W passes the 10W spec WITHOUT viscosity improvers!!

No, it's not.
