[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1365507, member: 16962"] Cars used to take heavier oils that 30wt so it's just a matter of materials and tolerances getting better and tighter. If the manufacturer suggests the lighter weight there is a pretty good chance they have done the reliability testing to support their specification. Oil additive packages have gotten better over the years as well so it's just a matter of change. Now to talk out of the otherside of my head.... both my truck and my wife's Pilot spec 20wt but I use 30wt for 9 months out of the year because things are generally quite a bit hotter in my part of the world. She has somewhere around 80k on her Honda and it's not had any ill effects from my deviation from the spec. [/QUOTE]
