To my knowledge, 0w20 only comes in synthetic, and that'll cause hard shifts. Synthetic is too slick and prevents the syncros from grabbing and synchronizing the gears.

To my eye, Honda's current MTF formulation is a lot thinner than 10w30, and it works well with syncros. I recently refilled Aerocivic with it and it shifts like butter.
