5-30

 

5w30. It's interesting you posted this in the Prelude section.

 

oopsey how did i get here??? any reason why 5-30???

 

I'm pretty sure that's what's reccomended by Honda.

 

um for preludes well for the 4th gen yes 5w-30 is recommded, but it also says that 10w-30 is ok for hot weather, like summer. Am I correct? or not?

 

i run 10w30 year around! but i live in the valley of the sun... we dont have winter here.

It provides better protection during start up.

 

I run 10w40 in socal because I've got a tiny leak. Does anyone think going to 10w30 is going to be a problem?

 

Nah I don't thinks so..I use 10w-30....It shouldn't be a problem...
