Is 5W-20 ok for Type S?
I'll keep this short and simple. I have an '02 RSX-S. I went to the Honda dealer today for an oil change, and they put in Mobil 1 synthetic 5W-20 instead of the recommended 5W-30. Is this a big deal? Thanks.
I said I don't want a title!

I'd take it back and make them put in 5w30. 5w20 synthetic is kinda thin for the Type-S motor.
Why would a Honda dealer not put in what's called for on the oil cap?

Same thing I was wonderin. It was the last car of the day, guess he was tired and wasn't payin attention to the Type-S. I didn't notice until I looked at the invoice when I got home, otherwise I would have had them change it right then.
