This is a guide on replacing the oil pan on a 2003-2007 V6 6MT accords. My car happens to be a 2007 Honda Accord. Torque Specs: 10mm oil pan bolts - 8.7 FT-LB 14mm oil pan bolts - 54 FT-LB
Yes 5W20 is what the Honda calls for. 0W20 is a slighter better option, especially in colder weather as it is lower viscosity when oil is cold. This leads to better oil flow in colder weather. The viscosity when oil is hot is 20 for both oils. This number you do not want to change. In summary, you can go lower in the number before the W, but not higher.
Good stuff. Show more wrenching, too!
Just curious as to why 5W20 oil wasn’t used instead, since that is what the owner’s manual recommends?
