I just switch to the honda oil 5w-20 (for older accord) and i already notice the difference vs the mobil1 10w-40. the temp here tonight is zero F.
The thing is the same engine in Europe gets 10-30 or 5-30 or 10-40 recommendations. I belive 5-20 is too thin and introduced only to improve fuel economy but that it will NOT protect engine as good as 5-30. I always use fully synthetic oils (Mobil1 or Amsoil).
My question is, Mobil1 has a new 5W-40 Euro Formula Oil. I would like to use it in my 05 accord. Does anyone know if that is safe?
Thx
