Way too heavy (thick). Why you would want to use this? Stick with the manufacturers recommendations.

WAY too thick. Even if you live in Arizona and if it was summer time.

At tops I'd run 10w-30 if it has higher miles and it's not too cold. If not, stick with 5w-30. There's a reason Honda recommends it.
