Motor Oil
i have never heard of 5-20w motor oil until I
bought this car.
Anyone make a 5-20w besides Honda?
I want to run synthetic by 10k so would
a 5-30w work OK down here in Houston TX. ?
Rarely gets very vold down here!

I dunno what the best weight would be for the Cl engine. 5w-30 is fine for temperature. I would call your dealer and ask whether it is an appropriate weight. Different cars require different oils.

10W-30 is good to any winter or summer temps you will EVER see in Houston.... (-40C to + 50C as I recall)
FWIW, the lower the spread between low and hi viscosity, the fewer polymerized molecules are required, leading to fewer deposits....
Best,
Jim

Any synthetic 5-30 oil will do & will probably be better than 5-20. BTW: you'll see fewer breakdown products with synthetic so I wouldn't worry about deposits. If you're looking for an affordable synthetic oil change I recommend WalMart. They'll do a full synthetic change for ~ $30.
PS: In Texas 10-30 should be okay.

Use 10W-30 in the summer when its hot.
Use 5W-30 in the winter when its cold.
If it gets -40 below F. your car is not gonna start with 10W-30.... The oil will be a solid block in the oil pan!!!!
