Hondas are sleeved blocks but I can't recall sleeve materials as I believe it was done primarily for cooling and not for strength so I'm guessing aluminum sleeves

0w8 would be too thin in the heat here.
It's already been driven in 90+ degree days often, and yet the UOA is great. Temperatures here are frequently 100+, especially in the summer, so I suppose we'll find out how it holds up. The next change will be Sustina 0W-20 though, since I have some left over. Then back to the Ultra Next.
