No synthetic doesnt mean its thinner. 20w-50 is actually heavy.

20-50 is going to reduce your oil pressure. Not needed ina Honda...bearing clearances are around .0015" from the factory...that calls for a 5w Oil.

20-50 is for big inch rat motors running aluminum rods that call for a .0035"+ Bearing Clearance.

Smaller the Clearance, Thinner the Oil
