I figure the engineers who designed the Insight engine ought to know what it's designed for. All the rest of their engineering, including unconventional things like lean burn, seem to work just fine. And with 130K miles on the engine, at least 80K using the 0w-20, there's still not a drop of oil leaking anywhere.

They do. Check the shelves at your local WalMart :-)
