Which Oil?
What brand and weight oil do you guys use? The manual says 5w20. The choices in that weight are much fewer than for 5w30, 10w30, etc. Finding synthetic in 5w20 is even harder.
A knowledgeable guy I know (not an Acura/Honda expert) said that 5w20 is recommended for fuel economy and doesn't protect against engine ware as well as other weight oils.
What dou you think?
