Mobil 0-20 oil, is it ok to use

I just went to the store and noticed Mobil-1 now comes in a 0-20 weight oil. THe box says it is for newer Honda's. I know Acura recommends 5-20 for 2003 Tl-s. Is the new Mobil-1 0-20 ok to use??? OR should i stick with Mobil-1 5-30 oil?

Yes, it is fine to use. If you live in a colder climate, I recommend it during the winters.

The newer Honda engines (J, K and L series engines) especially benefit as they have close tolerances.

I use 10w30 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter. I think 0w20 might be a little too thin, to be honest, but unless you're racing your car on the track, it should be fine.
