no point fixing what ain't broke. 5W-20 Mobil 1 for me. never had any issues/problems with fuel economy. I even have last year's fuel consumption records to show its all about how you drive, not the oil in the crankcase.

 

You will be fine with the 5-20. The engine is not going to blow up or anything. However, if you like to push it and especially for long periods of time, a good 5-30 or 10-30 will give you better protection. The HTHS number is good look at. If you find a 5-20 with a decent HTHS number, use it. I wanted a 3.4 or better which is hard or impossible to do with a 5-20.

 

im on 0w-30 mobil 1 right now and its the same as 5w-20 or 30..... the throttle is slightly more sensative but i dont think its the oils fault....most likely mental but the gas milage stayed the same i drove from fl to NY and it was the same the whole way as if i was using 5-20

 

5w-20 for me only cause i cleaned out walmart the other day on their mobil1 5w-20 synthetic oil. Got me 3 5qt jugs for 21.xx

 

lol 3gtl i do the same exact thing when i see the 5qt jugs. clean em out on 5w20 lmao!

 

I just stick with the Acura recommended 5W-20.

Walmart seems to have the best price on Pennzoil Platinum synthetic.

 

i used the pennzoil b4. it lasts a little bit longer than mobil 1... before the valve chatter begins. very good oil as well

 

It's also about $1 per quart less than Mobil 1

 

yup.

 

Before the valve chatter begins?

 

yea u have new oil the chatter isnt there..... used up oil or as it begins to break down further, the chatter begins. at or lower than 40% for me. i never go below 40% though
