The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental.

Youve been told wrong. 20w50 is way thicker than 10/30 and used more for higher mileage cars, trucks and suvs. In colder wheather, thinner oil makes it less harmful on the engine, but thats what it is thinner oil. 10/30 will be fine, it is a honda. In my blurboed cars, I uses 15/50 just cause of the heat factor.

most motors use 10w30
i use 15w40 'cause of the heat we get down here it's more of a diesel oil and the harley uses 20w50
i'd post this in honda tech 'cause i'm sure there's some magick/science involved
