OK, had my Accord nearly 3 years now and am on my 7th oil and filter change. Up till recently the National/Kwik fits/ATS websites/guys always recommended and used 0-30 as we all expect on here. As I'm due another I just rang round etc and every one of them is now saying it should be 5-30 and their head office directives is that they must use the recommended grade... So, arguments of 0-30 vs 5-30 aside why do we reckon that they have all "shifted" their recommendations... now being cynical I'd question is it just so they only have to stock one grade of oil and drive economy of scale/buying power or is it that Honda has updated its recommendations to these guys ( I ***ume there is some internal comms channels between these pretty big players )
but, what would you do.... if Shell are saying its good enough then would you trust them? My car is now near as damn 200K so is likley to be a little worn so a thicker oil probably wont hurt mine so much..
