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.

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.

From OP: Followup Quest., Please: Re: Accord Oil Type Question ?
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
