That 5W-20 is only Honda’s way to squeak out an extra ½ MPG or so. You & your engine will never feel the difference. Signature alfonso2501 http://www.automotiveforums.com

Just regular oil is ok. Regular 5W20 cost the same as regular 5W30. If it is synthetic, it will say synthetic on the bottle. > Hello again, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> Thanks, >> Bob

Hello again,

Much thanks for replies and help.
A bit confused on this.

Are you folks saying that the 5W 20 that Honda says to use Must be (all)
Synthetic only ?

Or is 5W 20 that is not synthetic, just the regular stuff, is O.K. ?

I read somewhere that they should not be mixed, so really confused.

Thanks again,
Bob

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
