And they found the 5w-20 oiled engines had much higher wear rates in the valve train.
Doesn't seem worth it to run thinner oil. The only 0w-20 oil I know of is amsoil and their oil is 3 to 4 times the price of department store 5w-20 oil.

Eh... I kinda agree on the jurastic oil difference above but going from 10w30 to 0w30 would be a welcome change. From what i've read as acceptable oil for the 90s Hondas, Honda recommends 5w30 (since they only sell 5w30, 0w20, 0w16). Pennzoil 0w20 was the thinnest 0w20 with the lowest 100 degree cst (even lower than mobil 1 (2) and amsoil (3) ). So I would follow suit with Pennzoil platinum 0w30 from Walmart. Cost effective as well vs shelling out dough for some crazy fancy oil for a 94 accord lol2
