I'd make sure on that. You'd be okay with the warmer weather now, but thats fairly heavy compared to 5w20. If it were 5/30 id say no sweat. boltongsr is probably right though.

you'll be fine, but according to Honda, you won't get the same gas mileage. i remember seeing it in Service News a while back.
