Do you use 5w-20 ?
Do you use 5w-20 or 5w-30 ? there are lots of concern that since 5w-20 is thin oil, it might make engine last shorter. Do you agree ?

Use 5w30. i think 5w20 is for colder temps. I use 0w40 mobil 1 on my gti and had both 5w30 in my civic si and sentra se-l

I'm new to HT but I'm almost positive there are dozens of threads covering the "What motor oil do you use/is best/prefer?" topic. Anyways I use 5w30 on my stock d16z6 motor year around.
