Default Mobil 1 0W-20 Oil

03 CLs and TLs require 5W-20 oil. Has anyone used Mobil 1 0W-20? Product label and Mobil specification sheet state that this oil meets Honda's requirements for 5W-20 oil.

I have been using Mobil 1 synthetic 0w-30 and 0w-20 for almost 5 years now on my TL.

Scary, i wouldn't think it would be thick enough but insights run on 0w-20 so i dunno i guess it would be fine.

Thinner is better because oil flows to the moving parts more quickly at start-up; therefore, theoretically, 0 is better than 5. My question was of a warranty nature, and I should have stated such.

Does anyone know if 0w-20 will violate the warranty? Acura's customer service department and the dealership have been vague.

Well, what they don't know won't hurt them, but if product label and Mobil specification sheets state that this oil meets Honda's requirements for 5W-20 oil, you should be fine.
