Accord Oil Type Question ?
 

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

Acuras spec 5W-30 with the same engine families, so I don't think you
will have any worries using 5W-30 if you need/want to.

Why do you believe this is surprising? It's been the recommended oil since
the 2001 Honda products were introduced.

> How critical is this ?

What does the Owners Manual for the vehicle state?

Honda spec. 5W-20 oil in the USA and nowhere else. They sell the exact
same vehicle elsewhere where they spec. 5W-30 or 10W-30.

So, how critical to use 5W-20? Not.

I've been ignoring Honda's 5W-20 spec. and using Mobil 1 5W-30 (once
past a 10K mile break-in period). Cars are running fine. Just went to
Mobil 1 Extended Life (or whatever they call it) for my daughters' cars.

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

Bob, you are making things very confusing for yourself and others by
posting individual messages to several groups. Responders in each group
remain ignorant of the replies of others in those other groups unless they
know to check. Learn to cross-post properly.

I will not repeat myself here. Go check nmy reply in

Don't you think he saw you responded in the other
newsgroup?

This second post (to a different Honda newsgroup) obviously
was intended to cover more audience.

It's simply not a big deal to post to one newsgroup and
then, a day or more later, post the same query to another
newsgroup.

He posted this identical message independently to at least three groups
simultaneously. That's both bad etiquette and a cheat on the readers of the
other groups.

Just because you lurk in every group that says Honda on it, doesn't mean
everyone else does. This is an un-moderated group, so by definition, no one
is empowered to police it.

What's next, criticism of every top-poster and anyone who has the audacity
to ask about the maintenance light? Your postings and your website have
been very useful to a lot of people, but lately you seem to be descending
more and more frequently into the etiquette policeman trap. Maybe its time
to take a short break before it all drives you nuts.

been very useful to a lot of people, but lately you seem to be descending
more and more frequently into the etiquette policeman trap. Maybe its time
to take a short break before it all drives you nuts.

Personally, I think it's absurd to point out to someone voicing their
opinion about someone else's posts (in this case Tegger) that this is
usenet, and people can say whatever they want.

I mean, reading your post, it looks like you're taking Tegger to task
for his posting, which was taking someone to task for their posting.

Whatever. After all, this is usenet, and you can be as silly as you
want to be. Just don't expect other people not to notice.

well /i/ think tegger's request is perfectly reasonable - it saves a
bunch of messing about. i may "donate" time for free, but that doesn't
mean it has no value and that i like wasting it on multiple independent
posts.
