I've seen Mobil 1 5W-20 before but it is still not common here in the Baltimore area.  Still see the 10W30 everywhere. -Dave

You could even use something like straight synthetic, like Mobil 1. 5W-20 is becoming more common though, with most places now stocking it.

Hello: Have an Accord, 6 cyl, 2005. Manual says to use 5W 20 oil, a bit surprisingly. How critical is this ? If I use, due to 5W 20 not being available, e.g., 5W 30, or 10W 30, any potential problems ? Thanks, Bob
