Thoughts on running 0w20 in a K24A2? To my knowledge all of the 160HP K motors run 0w20, while all of the 200HP ones call for 5w30. I believe the engine blocks are the same, compression is slightly higher in the Accord vs TSX and valves after VTEC engagement let more air in at the top of the rev range. No idea if there's any difference in piston rings.
