CRV 5w30 VS Pilot 5W20 Help Please
 
Hi All,
I have a 1998 CRV that takes 5w30 engine oil and a 2004 Pilot that
takes 5w20 engine oil, The CRV has high milage 160K kms. But runs
great. I do my own oil changes now and have bulk oil filters, as both
use the same filter. I would like to buy bulk oil and was wondering if
there would be any adverse effects if I put 5w20 in the CRV. I dont
want to change the grade for the Pilot.
Thanks in advance.
Hopeful. :)

Personally, I would rather put the heavier oil in both. The reason they
are requesting 5w30 is that the engine may need it. You are not going to
hurt the pilot by putting 5w30 in it, so it seems more logical...

====================================

You left out the most important factor. If you're in Northwest
Territories or Tahiti?? (160,000 Km isn't 'high mileage'). 5w30 or even
10w 30 might be fine depending on location.

Had a 2000 Accord and was told that 5W-20 was the preferred oil from 1998
and on.
May be the same for your CRV
