Honda is now recommending that their cars that used to require 5W20 use 0W20.

I saw the chart at a Honda dealer earlier this week. Recommended oil for older cars have been changed, as well.

I wAnder what brought this about..........

EDIT:

Found out why........... their 0W20 is full synthetic and is double the price. I've been using Royal Purple full synthetic 5W20 since the first oil change on both vehicles.
