[ChIoVnIdCa]

i use 10w30 all year, but if not id rather do wut he said. it barley gets cold here so i dont have to worry.

here in Canada, its always better to use 5w30 in the winter (too cold), the oil wont be so thick and the engine wont have a harder time turning... especially if its -35C (-31F) outside

I'll repeat what's been said. Honda Recommends running 5w-30 in areas where it gets below 20 but if you live in warmer climate the service manual recommends 10w-30 because of the improved fuel economey.

The newer higher reving Honda's use 5w-20 because they don't want the oil to thin out more then 20w when it's at operating temperature.

10w30 all year round

Live in Michigan.... I just go 5W-30 all-year round because it's satisfies both climates in warm & cold months. If I lived in CA or AZ I'd use something thicker like a 10W-30 and if I had a turbo or modified engine, I'd go prolly like a straight SAE 30W.

it just all depends man....
