is it okay to run that in our cars? 0w20 full syntehtic? i live in washington where its constantly 35-45 degrees.

 

im not really positive if its ok but 0w20 is what honda uses on hybrids only..some lady brought in her own Amoil 0w30 and i had to put it in her odyssey and she isnt back yet so i guess its no harm

 

anyone?

 

I would not recommend using it in your engine...

Even Eneos cautions about it...(read "caution")

my dad changed my oil for me at a shop that was certified and they put in 0w20 should i change this? ive been driving for almost 2 weeks now with the 0w20 what oil should i put in my car? 5w30 full syntehtic?

that's what your owner's manual says.

 

is it bad to run 0w20 though?

 

honda engineers = smarter than any backyard mechanic.

5W-30 is fine for almost down to 0 F. Even if you get 0W...its still dry for the first few strokes, etc...

Your motor will come to full operating temp no matter what it is outside. When it does that xW-20 will lose viscosity (read: turn into water) sooner than xW-30 will

Race oil is 0W-50 for a reason.

I wouldn't run a Xw-20 in a Honda that specifies Xw-30, Honda usually makes their recommendations based on quite a bit of wear and economy data and if anything seems to be biased towards the 20 weights. Because of that, there is likely a good reason for them to suggest a 30 weight so I would go with that if I were you. I would change it out as soon as you can to a Xw-30.

 

why run 5-20?? 5-30 is better for your Si. period.
so think about it do you want to harm your si?

 

with the temperatures you started 35-45 i wouldn't even worry about cold oil flow. i ran a 10-30 untill it hit around 25 degrees.

 

I would use AMSOIL 0W30....

 

Currently i'm using a 0w-40 Full Syn. had it for over 2500miles. No problems except a slight loss of fuel econ.

Hmmm... maybe 0w40 is no bueno then~! More resistance means less hp and more fuel consumption!
