Do I have to use synthetic oil in my Honda?
American Honda recommends using Honda Genuine Motor Oil, sold and available at Honda dealers . If Honda Genuine Motor Oil is not used, conventional motor oil of a premium-grade or an ultimate full synthetic blend may be used and must contain the specified viscosity grade indicated in your Owner’s Manual.
What is the difference between Honda engine oil 5W30 and 10W30?
So when you compare 5W30 vs 10W30, 5W30 oil has a lower number (5), implying the oil thins fairly in an extremely low temperature, making it a better winter engine oil than 10W-30. Since oil 10W-30 has a higher number before ‘W,’ it won’t flow as quickly as 5W-30 at a lower temperature.

What type of oil does a Honda Odyssey need?
EDIT 10/16/2023: I never actually switched to 10W-40 as declared because I realized that newer vehicles use different technology that is sensitive to oil viscosity. I currently use either 5W-20 or 0W-20 in my Odyssey. Check out my Ody’s odometer as of Oct. 2023–it will make 300K miles in a few days.
