I am not at all trying to start a war here, but why would you never go back. I am curious since my Accord has the same engine as yours and has lived happily on 0w20 for 6 years and 50K miles.
Well,me being a thick oil guy at heart,just couldn't bear using a W20 oil,so last oil change I installed QSUD 5W30 and it made an already smooth engine THAT much smoother! Especially when Shell Australia specs Shell Helix 5W40 for the K24Z3 Accord,I figured I'd meet the US and Australia in the middle
If I could still find Edge 5W50 cheap and easy,I'd be using that in my 300ZX. Nissan's spec is 10W30-20W50 for that car. 10W40 seemed to be the sweet spot for that car,but the 10W40's I liked have become non existent,so I settled on a synthetic 10W30,which it loves.
