Is 20w-50 bad in a D15B2 motor?
 
As the topic states. Somehow my dumba$$ has been using this oil in my car instead of 10w-30. I havent noticed a difference except that my car has been a little harder to start when cold, and that I burn less oil than I used to. Honda states 5w-30. Is 20w-50 better, considering I have a little d15 motor with over 191000 miles?

I had it in my car and it felt sluggish but it did stop the oil burning alot. I think it's better to use when it's really hot so just let your car idle and warm up that thick ass oil http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emwink.gif .Or just switch to 10w30 and just burn the oil away alot cheaper than gettin the rings done http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emwink.gif

That oil is too thick. Replace your oil rings.
